What is televised this fine Friday evening, however, is more World Baseball Classic action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Down in Miami, the Dominican Republic will play South Korea, with the DR serving as the home team in this Quarterfinals matchup. Veteran lefty Hyun Jin Ryu will toe the rubber for South Korea, while Philadelphia\u2019s burgeoning ace Cristopher S\u00e1nchez &#8211; a fellow lefty &#8211; will start for the Dominican. That game can be viewed on FS2 and FOX Deportes, with first pitch at loanDepot park set for 6:30 PM ET.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The nightcap will feature the United States squad facing off against Team Canada from Daikin Park down in Houston. San Francisco Giants bulldog righty Logan Webb will start for the US while Arizona Diamondbacks righty Mike Soroka will go for Canada. First pitch in that game is slated for 8:00 PM ET, and that game will be carried on FOX (and on FOX Deportes).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You can find more information (such as tonight\u2019s lineups and overall rosters) at MLB.com\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1734621&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fworld-baseball-classic\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">World Baseball Classic<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Reds are playing a pair of Cactus League games on Friday evening down in the desert&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2400],"tags":[5,535,50,4259,4,3537,536],"class_list":{"0":"post-622442","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cincinnati-reds","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-cincinnati","10":"tag-cincinnati-reds","11":"tag-cincinnatireds","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-mlb-news","14":"tag-reds"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116224414997216590","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
