Jose Urquidy gave up two runs over four innings, striking out five to earn the win. Arozarena - the 2021 AL Rookie of the Year for the Tampa Bay Rays - hit a bases-clearing double in the sixth that broke the game open, giving Mexico a 6-2 lead.
Canada leadoff hitter Edouard Julien had two hits, including a solo homer in the seventh inning, and catcher Bo Naylor hit a solo homer. Rob Zastryzny took the loss after giving up three runs over two innings. Canada played without Los Angeles Dodgers star first baseman Freddie Freeman, who left Tuesday's game because of a hamstring injury.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 15, 2023.
