Eugenio Suárez's go-ahead RBI double in the 9th inning was the dagger. Wilyer Abreu launched a 414-foot homer off USA starter Nolan McLean. And despite arguably the best pitching staff ever assembled for a WBC — Team USA's bats went ice cold. Aaron Judge went 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts. Bryce Harper batted .214. Alex Bregman hit .143.
