Chipper Jones bats after replacing A-Rod at third, and he smacks an opposite field home run on the first pitch. It's 2-0 USA over Mexico in the bottom of the seventh.

Update: That's it for the US. Mexican pitchers are doing decently in this game. They've struck out three and walked just one. The Mexican defense is very crisp, which they need with all the balls in play. The US just has too much power.
