Baseball at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics: Team USA beat Israel in the opening round. The 2021 MLB trade deadline for the Dominican Republic surpasses Mexico is Friday, but on the other side of the world, baseball is returning to the Olympics after a 13-year hiatus. Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s Olympic baseball tournament. Here’s what you need to know about Team USA in particular. Here is a summary of the results in Tokyo on Friday. Longtime big leaguer Melky Cabrera drove the game’s only run with five double left fields against former Red Sox prospect Teddy Stanky Witz. Five Dominican pitchers, including starter Angel Sanchez, limited Mexico to four hits with a shutout victory. Former Reds and Rays Justice Jumbo Díaz made good use of the bullpen kart before the scoreless innings. The game was more competitive than the final score made you believe. Former Yankees first baseman Tyler Austin hit a two-run homer, allowing the United States to lead 3-0 in the third inning, leaving the score 3-1 until the sixth inning. At that point, the United States tackled the overwhelming Israeli bullpen and accumulated insurance coverage. This is Austin’s home run. This match was played at Yokohama Baseball Stadium in Tokyo, Austin’s home stadium, with the Yokohama BayStars of the Nippon Professional Baseball League in Japan. Austin drove with 3 hits and 3 runs, while former MLB players Eddy Alvarez and Bubba Starling each drove with 2 runs. Alvarez aims to be the fourth person to win a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics at the 5,000-meter speed skating relay and at both the Winter and Summer Olympics. On the mound, American right-handed Joe Ryan, who recently moved from Rays to Twins in the Nelson Cruz trade, held Israel into a solo home run with six innings. The Israeli lineup included four players with MLB experience (Ian Kinsler, Tykery, Danny Valencia, Ryan Lavarnway), but put together a lot for Ryan and the three rescuers. I couldn’t. The United States is 1-0 in pool play and Israel is 0-2. The United States will face South Korea on Saturday and the winner will advance to the quarterfinals. Israel will face the lowest ranked teams in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Japan on Sunday. American Baseball: Watching the opening game of the Tokyo Olympics vs. Israel, live stream, start time, odds The American baseball team will return to the world stage at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday. The 2020 game is Team USA’s fourth Olympic appearance and the first since 2008 after sports have been excluded from the London 2012 Summer Olympics and the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. Dayn Perry of CBS Sports has analyzed everything you need to know about baseball at the Summer Olympics here. The United States finished fourth in 1992, won the bronze medal in 1996, and defeated Cuba 4-0 in the final of the 2000 Sydney Olympics to win the gold medal. Team USA failed to qualify in 2004 before defeating Japan 8-4 and winning the bronze medal in 2008. Team USA will launch a softball gold campaign against Israel in the opening round on Tuesday. South Korea has defended the gold medalist after defeating Cuba 3-2 in the final in Beijing 13 years ago. Team USA’s list of 24 people includes prominent veterans Scott Kazmir, Todd Frazier, and Edwin Jackson. Kazmir and Frazier have made major appearances this season and have made multiple All-Star appearances in their careers. Israel, on the other hand, has only four native players in the country. Most of the remaining roster spots were given to American players whose Jewish roots allowed them to obtain citizenship in Israel. Former All-Star second baseman Ian Kinsler retired from MLB last year before traveling to Israel for citizenship. The United States and Israel have never met in a major baseball tournament. On the knockout stage, the team plays in a double elimination format. In essence, the top two seeds in the group stage give “goodbye” to one of the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, two seeds and three seeds play against each other, and the winners of these two games advance to the other quarterfinals. The losers of those games go to the loser’s bracket and keep running for the spot in the semifinals. The winner of each quarterfinal will advance to one semifinal and the other semifinal will be occupied by two teams coming out of the loser’s bracket.
