Cruz homer caps comeback as Dominicans beat US 7-5 in WBC (Yahoo Sports)

Nelson Cruz hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Andrew Miller in the eighth inning, Starling Marte added a solo shot off the All-Star reliever and the defending champion Dominican Republic overcame a five-run deficit to beat the United States 7-5 Saturday night. The comeback delighted a clamorous crowd of 37,446, the largest for baseball in the five-year history of Marlins Park. The Americans were on the verge of clinching a berth in the second round when Miller took the mound with a 5-3 lead in the eighth.
