Turner’s grand slam lifts US over Venezuela, into WBC semis

Quick Summary

MIAMI—Trea Turner hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning that lifted the United States over Venezuela, 9-7, Saturday night and into the World Baseball Classic (WBC) semifinals.

Venezuela second baseman and Houston Astros star Jose Altuve left in the fifth with a right hand injury after he was hit by a pitch from Daniel Bard.

Silvino Bracho relieved and Turner, the No.9 batter in the US lineup, sent his 0-2 changeup 407 feet to deep left field for the third grand slam in American WBC history.“Individually, I think this is probably the biggest hit that I’ve had … probably right up there with any hit I’ve ever had,” Turner said.
