Venezuela claimed its first World Baseball Classic title by defeating the United States 3-2 in the final. Maikel Garcia opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the third inning, followed by Wilyer Abreu’s solo home run in the fifth. The U.S. tied the game with a two-run homer from Bryce Harper in the eighth, but Eugenio Suárez’s double in the ninth secured the victory for Venezuela. The U.S. has not won the tournament since 2017.
