Taking WBC seriously, Team USA advances to 2nd round (Yahoo Sports)

Andrew Miller said yes to taking part in the World Baseball Classic when many other top U.S. pitchers said no, including Clayton Kershaw, Noah Syndergaard and Justin Verlander. As a reward for showing up, Miller gave up two home runs in an inning for the first time since 2011. An hour after his dismal WBC debut, Miller said he didn't regret deciding to participate.
