Mexico wasn't quite in a must-win situation Sunday night against the United States at the World Baseball Classic — Cuba did just come back from 0-2 to win Pool A — but it still felt like do-or-die following its gut-wrenching loss in extra innings to Colombia on Saturday.
El Tri bounced back in a huge way. The Nationals' Joey Meneses sparked an 11-5 rout of Team USA, which was forced to use eight pitchers. Meneses had a pair of home runs and scored a third time as Mexico improved to 1-1 in Pool C.

Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena turned in an excellent game for Mexico as well, showcasing once more the big-stage ability that fans first witnessed in the 2020 MLB postseason. Arozarena went 3 for 5 and drove in a pair of runs to continue his impressive WBC work at the plate.
Mexico starter Patrick Sandoval didn't look at all intimidated by the highly touted USA lineup. The Angels left-hander allowed two hits and a run over three innings while striking out two. Cubs prospect Javier Assad went the next three and allowed just a run on a hit.

USA manager Mark DeRosa's inexperience peeked through in this game. A clearly struggling Brady Singer was getting touched up but no one was warming in the bullpen. Meneses then launched his second homer of the game, a three-run shot in the fourth to put Mexico up 7-1. The game is sure to be a learning experience for DeRosa and the USA staff, but with a game against Canada on Monday, they'll have to learn quick.

Mexico jumps up in the standings and now finds itself in solid shape in the pool standings. What's more, it will have Monday off before taking on Great Britain on Tuesday.
This game could very well be a wake-up call for the United States. It looked sluggish against Great Britain and lethargic against Mexico. It will need to right the ship quickly.

USA vs. Mexico live updates, highlights from World Baseball Classic
1:51 a.m. --Mullins drives one to center and a busy Alek Thomas tracks it down for the second out. Goldschmidt comes up now with two outs, and he flies out, fittingly, to Thomas to end the game. Mexico wins 11-5 in a dominant performance.
1:50 a.m. --Betts has been under everything tonight, flying out for the fourth time to Duran in right. Mullins will now step up for Team USA.
1:48 a.m. --That's one way to hit against the shift. McNeil has an excuse-me swing the other way to get on against the heavy shift, and Betts comes up with nobody out and McNeil on first.
1:46 a.m. --Gerardo Reyes takes the mound for Mexico against McNeil, Betts, and Mullins if Mullins stays in.
1:42 a.m. --Cardona gets wrung up looking on strike three there from Pressly. And Duran comes up and quickly grounds out in front of home plate. USA will be up for the bottom of the ninth, presumably facing someone other than Zazueta.

1:30 a.m. --Samuel Zazueta takes the mound for Mexico.
1:27 a.m. --Alonso got under another one and skied it for the second out of the inning. Vargas is going to get the ball taken from him by Gil, and Kyle Tucker will be facing someone different as he tries to at least narrow the gap.

11:28 p.m. --Good swing there from Thomas going the other way. Diamondback fans, keep an eye on him. He's getting a big lead at first, and Barnes is at the plate. A wild pitch sends Thomas to second.
11:26 p.m. --Singer gets Trejo looking on a full count there with a bit of paint. Trejo didn't like the call, but somewhere, dozens of Little League coaches are muttering "too close to take there."
11:25 p.m. --Graveman got just one at-bat, and DeRosa now turns to Royals dealer Brady Singer. Singer will hammer the zone low and pitch to contact to elicit ground balls.
11:22 p.m. --This has been an effective, but stressful, inning for Sandoval. The count goes full again to Arenado, who grounds out to Trejo at short to end the inning. At 55 pitches that will probably be it for Sandoval, but a great outing for him overall.
11:18 p.m. --Sandoval's confidence in his slider is so impressive. He gets Goldschmidt waving at a 2-2 slider for the second out of the inning. It's hard to overstate how impressive it is to see a lefty attacking right-handed bats inside like this, particularly ones this potent. Arenado comes up next trying to keep the inning alive.
11:15 p.m. --That pitch from Sandoval was CLOSE. Trout takes one just a bit hight and tight, arguably right on the black, but he's on first with one down. Great pitch, just didn't get the call. Goldschmidt now comes up.
11:13 p.m. --Sandoval has hammered Trout with three straight inside sliders to get the count full, but his teammate isn't going down without a fight.

11:02 p.m. --Tough break for the United States, as the shift bites them here! McNeil is having a tough time. He was pulled on the left side of second base, and nearly made an unbelievable play to get Paredes. However, Goldschmidt bobbled the pick, and Meneses scores from third.Mexico 3, USA 1.Martinez is out of the game.

📺: WBC on FS1 pic.twitter.com/m0tR4ctAc4
10:59 p.m. --Even against the shift, Rowdy Tellez's ball has eyes. He drops one between Trout and McNeil in no-man's-land to keep the inning alive, and DeRosa is deciding what to do about Martinez with an Andy Pettitte mind visit. Brady Singer and Kendall Graveman are up in the USA bullpen. Runners at the corners, two out.
10:57 p.m. --Meneses pulls one down the line and it looked like Arenado would make the play, but he bobbles it on the transfer and Menses is on with two out. Difficult play, but one Arenado would usually make. 52 pitches for Martinez, notably. 65 is the limit, so this will probably have to be his last inning.
10:54 p.m. --Verdugo pulls one into the shift on the right side for the second out, bringing up Joey Meneses with two down. He'll look for a similar result to last time.
10:52 p.m. --Arozarena led off for Mexico, and he put a ball into the Bermuda Triangle in foul territory. Tim Anderson tracks it down between Areanado and Tucker for the first out, bringing up Verdugo with one down.
10:48 p.m. --Good swing from McNeil, but it died off the bat and is played with ease by Thomas in center for the third out of the inning. Sandoval minimizes the damage, and Mexico keeps the lead after two.
10:47 p.m. --Will Smith came up with a hack against Sandoval, and he flies out to centerfield for the second out to bring up McNeil with two down.
10:44 p.m. --Anderson gives the United States the bottom of the order production it was missing against Great Britain, lacing one into right to drive in Tucker. 7-8-9 was 2-11 Saturday night. 1-1 tonight.Mexico 2, USA 1

— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) March 13, 2023
10:43 p.m. --Tucker, who looked somewhat uncomfortable at the plate against Great Britain Saturday, laces one down the right field line for a one-out triple. Great stroke there to give the United States a golden scoring opportunity with Tim Anderson coming up.
10:42 p.m. --Pete Alonso takes an aggressive swing and slices it down the right field line. Verdugo went on a bit of an adventure but he hauls it in for the first out. Kyle Tucker comes up next.
10:38 p.m. --Martinez gets Barnes swinging to end the inning, capping off a 1-2-3 frame. Good bounce-back there. Pete Alonso due up for the United States.
10:36 p.m. --The speedy Alek Thomas comes up first pitch swinging and flies out to shallow left. That brings up Austin Barnes, the catcher.
10:35 p.m. --Rockies shortstop Alan Trejo digs in for Mexico, and he strikes out at the hands of Martinez. Martinez is already up over 25 pitches in the second, so he'll look to keep that count low here in the second.
10:32 p.m. --Sandoval gets in on the hands of Arenado, who pops out to second for the third out of the inning. Mexico heads into the second with a 2-0 lead.
10:31 p.m. --Goldschmidt swipes second for the United States, getting into scoring position. Arenado is now 3-1, putting this in dangerous territory for Sandoval.
10:30 p.m. --Goldschmidt walks after working the count 3-1, bringing up his teammate Arenado. These two have highlighted the toughest part of the USA lineup.
10:27 p.m. --Big bender there from Sandoval gets Trout swinging for strike three. Sandoval gets some bragging rights once they reconvene with the Angels.
10:26 p.m. --It looked like Betts finally got a hold of one, but he flies out harmlessly to dead center. That brings Trout up with down, and he quickly gets into an 0-2 hole.
10:22 p.m. --Arenado makes a great defensive play (kind of in self defense), as Urías scorches one to him that he bats down and recovers for the out. Big start for Mexico as they jump out in front. Now it will be Sandoval against the USA bats.
10:21 p.m. --Urías is in a full count, after he drove one foul the opposite way and then swung through another. Payoff pitch coming from Martinez.
10:18 p.m. --Paredes takes a walk for Mexico, keeping the inning alive with two down. That brings up Luis Urías, the Brewers infielder.
10:17 p.m. --Rowdy Tellez responds with a groundout into the shift, making it two down for the Rays' Isaac Paredes.
10:15 p.m. --Arozarena took off again but it was a hat on a hat, as Meneses puts a charge in one into left to give Mexico a dos a cero lead! Big swing there to put Mexico on top.Mexico 2, USA 0.

10:11 p.m. --On the first batter of the game, Arozarena grounds up the middle and seemingly beats out a spinning throw from Tim Anderson. Mexico is going to challenge the call of out, and Arozarena should be on first.
10:10 p.m. --Randy Arozarena will lead off for Mexico here after a strong first game against Colombia. He'll see Martinez here.
