With plenty of upsets, comebacks and even a few injuries, the World Baseball Classic is in full gear.

With the highly-anticipated debut of Eric Gagne, Colombia rebounded to improve to 1-1 and beat Canada 4-1. Venezuela improved to 1-1 after their back-and-forth 11-10 victory over Italy came to an end in the tenth inning.

In a showdown between two of the toughest teams in the World Baseball Classic, the Dominican Republic upset the United States 7-5 to extend their tournament winning streak to ten games. Puerto Rico rode the two-homer game of Francisco Lindor to a 9-4 victory over Mexico.

Finally, Israel kicked off the second round with a 4-1 victory over Cuba. After sweeping Pool A, Israel remains undefeated and stand 4-0 overall in the tournament.
