Team USA needed some help, but the star-studded lineup led by Yankees superstar Aaron Judge and Pirates ace Paul Skenes can turn their attention to the quarterfinals at the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
The USA finished as Pool B runner-up after a shocking loss to Italy. Prior to that defeat, the USA had defeated Brazil, dominated Great Britain, and got past Mexico. It now comes to Saturday’s quarterfinal game against Pool A winners Canada at Daikin Park, home of MLB‘s Houston Astros.
The game will be Friday, March 13 at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
