PHOENIX — There will be a Dodgers player on one of the teams in the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. With Puerto Rico’s win over the United States on Friday night, Kiké Hernandez and crew won Pool F and clinched a berth in the semifinals.
Puerto Rico will play Netherlands on Monday night at Dodger Stadium, which means we could conceivably see Hernandez face teammate Kenley Jansen in that game. The winner on Monday night will advance to the championship game on Wednesday night, also in Los Angeles.
