Puerto Rico tops Dominican Republic in rematch of 2013 final

SAN DIEGO -- Yadier Molina homered and hit an RBI single to lead Puerto Rico to a 3-1 victory against the Dominican Republic in the second round of the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday night.

Eddie Rosario doubled in the go-ahead run in the fourth and also threw out a runner at the plate for Puerto Rico, which snapped the Dominicans' 11-game WBC winning streak.

It was a rematch of the 2013 WBC title game, which the Dominicans won 3-0 at San Francisco's AT&T Park.

The small but peppy crowd at Petco Park chanted, clapped, waved flags and banged cowbells throughout the game.
