Otto Lopez hit a three-run homer, Noah Skirrow threw five quality innings in his national team debut and Canada shut out Colombia 5-0 Tuesday at the World Baseball Classic.
Canada led 1-0 going into the eighth inning, but Lopez, a Toronto Blue Jays prospect, led off the inning with a triple and was driven in by Owen Caissie's two-out RBI single to push the lead to 2-0.Canada's pitching staff gave up just five hits and one walk, bouncing back from a 12-1 loss to the United States on Monday.
Colombia's Oscar Mercado had two hits. Adrian Almeida took the loss, giving up one run over three innings. "Right now he had tightness in his hammy. And of course for precautionary reasons we took him out of the game right away," Canada manager Ernie Whitt said. "He felt something on one of his swings, his second at-bat. So again we would do that to anyone if there's discomfort or something like that, we're going to take them out.""We're waiting from the doctors to see what they say and also the Dodgers," Whitt said.
