The United States has awoken! They now have their second win in the World Classic after a 12-1 thrashing of Canada in front of 29,621 fans at Chase Field in Phoenix. Home runs by Mike Trout in the first inning and Trea Turner in the second inning handed victory to the team that connected with 10 hits even though no player hit more than two. The U.S. gave up only five hits to Canada. Chicago White Stockings righty, Lance Lynn, played five innings in which he allowed one run on two hits and six strikeouts.
