The United States scored seven runs in the first two innings and routed Canada 8–0 to advance to the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
Canada's Ryan Dempster struggled in just his second start since the 2013 season and was only able to record one out.
U.S. starter Danny Duffy finished his four scoreless innings of work with just two hits surrendered.
The U.S. offense was powered by a two-run double by Eric Hosmer in the first inning and then a three-run home run by Nolan Arenado in the second inning off Andrew Albers.
