Orioles left-hander Vidal Nuno, who was away from the club for 10 days participating in the World Baseball Classic, returned to camp Wednesday ready to resume his preparation for the upcoming season. But he came back to Sarasota still frustrated by the way his Mexican team was eliminated from the tournament.
Over the weekend, Mexico believed it earned a spot in a tiebreaker game by beating Venezuela by two runs in its final pool play game. Three teams finished with 1-2 records and the first tiebreaker is fewest average runs allowed per game, but the Mexican team realized it was eliminated because it was not given credit for playing an inning in which it did not record an out in a walk-off loss to Italy.
