U.S. rout of Cuba interrupted three times by fans running on the field to display protest signs
Trea Turner, Paul Goldschmidt and an unrelenting U.S. lineup kept putting crooked numbers on the scoreboard, a dynamic display of the huge gap between an American team of major-leaguers and Cubans struggling on the world stage as top players have left the island nation.
“The team kind of represents the government over there, and people aren’t too happy about it,” U.S. manager Mark DeRosa said. Turner has a tournament-leading 10 RBIs. He followed his go-ahead, eighth-inning grand slam a night earlier against Venezuela with a solo homer in the second inning off Roenis Elias and a three-run drive in the sixth against Elian Leyva.Cuba went ahead when its first four batters reached off Adam Wainwright without getting a ball out of the infield. After forcing in a run with a walk to Alfredo Despaigne, the 41-year-old right-hander recovered to strand the bases loaded.
Fans in the sellout crowd of 35,779 at loanDepot Park sounded evenly split between the U.S. and Cuba. Several hundred people gathered before the game outside the ballpark in Miami’s Little Havana section to protest the presence of the Cuban team, whose island nation has been under communist rule since 1959.
