Cuba upset Venezuela, looking in very fine form, 7-2. It was 7-0 for a long time, when Venezuela finally got on the board with a home run.
Ichiro hit a home run on his first bat to start Japan off 1-0 against the US. Of note, Jeter made a great bunt to arrive safely at first (third base couldn't get it out of his glove to make the throw on time) and advance runner to second. Ken Griffey struck out, and A-Rod bat into a double play. End of first, Japan leading US 1-0.
PS:
Miguel, I actually asked Angel about what "marco" literally meant, because he always calls A-Rod un marco. I thought long ago that he told me that it was a frog, but didn't want to say so without asking him for sure. Rana is a small frog, marco a big frog (maybe toad)?
