Team USA and Mexico clash in Houston

The 2026 World Baseball Classic reaches a fever pitch tonight, March 9, 2026, as Team USA and Mexico meet at Daikin Park in Houston. Both teams enter the marquee matchup of Pool B with perfect 2-0 records. With reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes on the mound for the U.S. and a history of Mexico upsets in this tournament, tonight's sold-out game will likely determine who takes the top seed into the quarterfinals.
