⚾ Phillies' new star Trea Turner is red-hot at the WorldBaseballClassic.
The Americans will look to defend their WBC title in the championship game on Tuesday. They'll face the winner of the other semifinal between Mexico and Japan, which takes place on Monday.

While it wound up being a comfortable victory, Team USA got off to a shaky start in the semifinal. With limited arms available in the United States' bullpen, Cuba began the game with three straight infield singles. Adam Wainwright then delivered a bases-load walk to Alfredo Despaigne, putting Cuba ahead 1-0.
But the 41-year-old Wainwright limited the damage to just one run by retiring the next three batters -- and Team USA wouldn't trail for long. In the bottom of the first, Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer to left field off southpaw Roenis Elias.
