The United States rebounded in the first round with a home win by the National League’s MVP
Cuba scored a goal early in the first half without taking the ball out of the penalty area. Three groundstrokes and a ticket by Alfredo Despiani was enough to open the scoring for the semi-finals.
However, the advantage of the West Indians was short-lived. Muki Petes led Ruinis Elias with two goals to the left. Yoelkis Guibert then sent a fine short ball to the right by Mike Trout. Paul Goldschmidt put his team ahead. National League MVP hit a massive left run of 407 feet and 112 mph at muzzle velocity.
Trea Turner’s home run in the second
The advantage of the North Americans increased at the end of the second. With two outs and two clean bases, Trea Turner hit a 93.4 mph fastball from left guan that reached 428 feet, also into left field.
With the strike, he put the game at three-for-one.
The Phillies shortstop was MVP of the Grand Slam quarterfinal game against Venezuela in the eighth episode. Turner Makes Classic World History.
