]<\/strong><\/p>\nItaly takes early lead in semifinal<\/h2>\n Italy took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a bases-loaded walk issued by Venezuela starter Keider Montero. He allowed a one-out single to Zach Dezenzo, then walked Jac Caglianone and Andrew Fischer to load the bases. Facing J.J, D\u2019Orazio, Montero got to a two-ball, two-strike count but then missed badly with pitches low and out of the zone.<\/p>\n\nThat chased Montero from the game, and Italy added another run versus reliever Ricardo S\u00e1nchez on a Dante Nori groundout.<\/p>\n
Venezuela broke through against Italy starting pitcher Aaron Nola in the fourth inning, when Eugenio Su\u00e1rez yanked a low, outside curveball into the left-field seats for a solo home run.<\/p>\n\nNola, who was tabbed for the start earlier Tuesday in place of Michael Lorenzen, pitched four innings and allowed only Su\u00e1rez\u2019s home run among four hits. He struck out three Venezuelans.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s pitching strategy backfires<\/h2>\n The original plan for Italy manager Francisco Cervelli appeared to be to start Lorenzen in Tuesday\u2019s championship game against Team USA. But managing aggressively, he brought Lorenzen in to relieve Nola in the fifth inning with a one-run lead to protect.<\/p>\n
That plan seemed to be working until the top of the seventh. Gleyber Torres drew a leadoff walk, but Lorenzen struck out Wilyer Abreu and Willson Contreras and was on the verge of avoiding trouble. Then Jackson Chourio singled on a first-pitch fastball, and Andr\u00e9s Gim\u00e9nez, pinch-running for Torres, advanced to third.<\/p>\n
Lorenzen got Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr.\u00a0to hit a grounder to shortstop, but Italy\u2019s Sam Antonacci had to go toward the outfield grass to field the ball. From the deep hole, he couldn\u2019t get enough on his throw, bouncing it near second base before the throw reached first. Acu\u00f1a beat the throw, and Gim\u00e9nez scored the tying run.<\/p>\n\nMaikel Garcia followed with a single to left field to drive in Chourio for a 3-2 Venezuela lead. Then Luis Arraez hit a high, outside fastball to score Acu\u00f1a, putting Venezuela on top 4-2 and knocking Lorenzen out of the game.<\/p>\n

All told, four consecutive two-out hits resulted in three runs. And Cervelli\u2019s decision to piggyback Lorenzen on Lola\u2019s start backfired.<\/p>\n\nLorenzen finished with three runs allowed on four hits and two walks, recording two strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Venezuela\u2019s bullpen handcuffs Italy<\/h2>\n Throughout the WBC, Venezuela\u2019s bullpen has been better than its starting rotation. That proved true again after Montero left the game, beginning with Ricardo S\u00e1nchez pitching 1 2\/3 scoreless innings. Five more relievers followed to keep Italy off the board for the final six innings. In total, the Venezuela bullpen allowed only three hits while recording eight strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Prior to losing the lead, Italy squandered its best chance to add insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth. Relief pitcher Angel Zerpa took over for Luinder Avila with one runner on and one out. The left-hander struck out Fischer before intentionally walking D\u2019Orazio.<\/p>\n
Dante Nori then hit an infield single to load the bases. Zerpa recovered to strike out Antonacci on four pitches to escape the jam.<\/p>\n\nItaly didn\u2019t get a hit through the remaining three innings against Eduard Bazardo, Andr\u00e9s Machado and Daniel Palencia. Palencia recovered from falling behind with a 3-1 count on Antonacci, getting him to swing and miss on 98- and 99-mph fastballs to seal Venezuela\u2019s win.<\/p>\n\nFirst pitch for the WBC final between Venezuela and the United States is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET Tuesday at loanDepot Park in Miami.<\/p>\n

Antonacci strikes out swinging, and Venezuela is advancing to the WBC final for the first time.<\/p>\n
The Venezuelan bullpen came up huge, shutting down Italy\u2019s offense across the final 7 innings, and the Venezuelan bats delivered a late, two-out rally to take this semifinal. Italy\u2019s magical WBC run is over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nMon, March 16, 2026 at 7:49 PM PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/header>\n\n\n

After seven sleepy innings, loanDepot Park has become a Venezuelan thunderdome. Four straight two-out hits for Venezuela just completely changed the tenor of this game.<\/p>\n
With runners on the corners, Acu\u00f1a legged out an infield single to tie things at 2. Then his cousin, Maikel Garcia, roped a knock into left for the lead. Luis Arraez finished the frame with some much-needed insurance on an RBI flair of his own.<\/p>\n
Italy went down in order in the 7th, and now Venezuela and its stout bullpen is 6 outs away from the WBC final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nMon, March 16, 2026 at 7:25 PM PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/header>\n\n\n

Luis Arraez joins in the fun with another single \u2014 that\u2019s four in a row with two outs \u2014 to score Acu\u00f1a and move Garcia to third. It\u2019s now 4-2 Venezuela, and Lorenzen\u2019s night is done.<\/p>\n\nIt felt like this game was going all Italy\u2019s way, but that has changed dramatically here in the seventh inning.<\/p>\n
Kyle Nicolas comes on in relief and finally gets the third out, but the damage is done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

A single, three straight walks and a fielder\u2019s choice put Team Italy up 2-0 after two innings. Venezuela starter Keider Montero completely lost all feel for the zone and is already out of this game. Let the bullpen carousel begin.<\/p>\n
That has been the story of Venezuela’s tournament thus far: mediocre starting pitching followed by stellar relief work. Their starting pitcher ERA is 6.28, the sixth-worst mark in the tournament. Their 1.76 bullpen ERA is tied for third-best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n

After a Zach Dezenzo single with one out, Venezuela starter Keider Montero walked three straight batters \u2014 Jac Caglianone, Andrew Fischer and J.J. D\u2019Orazio \u2014 and that makes it 1-0 Italy.<\/p>\n\nThat\u2019s the end of Montero\u2019s outing.
