The Team USA offense finally woke up in the team's third game of the 2023 World Baseball Classic, clobbering Canada 12-1 on Monday night at Chase Field in Phoenix.
The fireworks started early, as Team USA posted nine runs in the first inning and never looked back. The Americans followed with three runs in the second inning. The game ended after the top of the seventh inning because of the mercy rule.
Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout had the big hit of the day, launching a three-run home run to finish off the explosive opening frame.
