The World Baseball Classic started last night with the Netherlands taking on Cuba, followed by Panama vs Chinese Taipei this morning. In case you missed it from yesterday, here’s our preview of the WBC, looking at the schedule and the Pittsburgh Pirates involved.
The Netherlands won 4-2 with some help from outfielder Josh Palacios, who went 1-for-3 with a run, RBI single, stolen base and hit-by-pitch.

Chinese Taipei lost 12-5 to Panama. Tsung-Che Cheng had a nice game, going 3-for-5 with a triple, run scored and an RBI. He also had a long drive that was caught on the run right at the right-center fence, just missing what would have been a four-hit game.
Here’s his RBI single
