U.S. Takes Game 1 vs. Japan

White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye hit a two-run homer as the MLB All-stars defeated Japan’s All-stars 3-2 in the first game of a five-game exhibition series between the two countries. The series is another attempt by MLB to bring the competitive baseball to an international level.

Last spring, MLB also introduced the World Baseball Classic, an event that is expected to take place every four years. The WBC was largely ignored here in the states but was a huge success abroad.
