Body
MIAMI — From purely a baseball standpoint, Sunday’s World Baseball Classic semifinal was a rout. The United States dominated Cuba, 14-2, in front of a sold-out crowd at Miami’s loanDepot park to advance to Tuesday’s championship, where it will play the winner of Monday’s semifinal between Japan and Mexico for the chance to defend its World Baseball Classic title after winning the tournament in 2017.
