Henderson starts at third for US over Bregman, then homers in WBC. Gunnar Henderson started at third base for the United States over Alex Bregman Sunday in the World Baseball Classic semifinals, then homered in the fourth inning against the Dominican Republic. Manager Mark DeRosa moved Henderson into the starting spot because of his favorable career numbers against Dominican right-hander Luis Severino, and it didn’t take long for that decision to pay off. Henderson, a star shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles, drove a 3-2 sweeper from Severino 400 feet to right-center to tie the game with his second home run of the WBC.

Geraldo Perdomo (SS - AZ)

Dominican WBC loss ends on called strike that appeared low, a week before robot umps arrive in MLB. A close called third strike ended the Dominican Republic’s rally attempt and sent the United States into the World Baseball Classic title game. The U.S. won 2-1 when plate umpire Cory Blaser called Geraldo Perdomo out on a full-count slider from Mason Miller that appeared to drop below the strike zone, stranding the potential tying run at third. Major League Baseball is launching the automated ball-strike challenge system on opening day next week after years of testing, allowing teams to challenge calls to the so-called robot umpire.

Aaron Judge proclaims World Baseball Classic has surpassed World Series in importance. Aaron Judge says the World Baseball Classic has become baseball’s biggest stage. Speaking after the U.S. beat the Dominican Republic 2-1 in semifinal, Judge said: “It’s bigger and better than the World Series.” Junior Caminero's second-inning homer off winner Paul Skenes put the Dominicans ahead but the U.S. rebounded on fourth-inning drives by Gunnar Henderson off Luis Severino and Roman Anthony against loser Gregory Soto. U.S. relievers pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings in a game that ended with a controversial called third strike to Geraldo Perdomo from Mason Miller on a slider that appeared to be low.
