2017 World Baseball Classic: Mexico Defeats Venezuela, But Eliminated On Controversial Tiebreaker

The Los Angeles Dodgers had several players named to rosters for the 2017 World Baseball Classic, with their strongest presence lying on Team Mexico. But the trio of Adrian Gonzalez, Sergio Romo and Alex Verdugo may soon make their return to Spring Training at Camelback Ranch.

Mexico defeated Venezuela, 11-9, in a back-and-forth affair at Estadio de Beisbol Charros de Jalisco for their first victory in Pool D play. That left Italy, Mexico and Venezuela tied with a 1-2 record and sparked chaos and mass confusion.
