Mexico still hasn't won in the first game of the World Baseball Classic. In the 2023 edition, the historic victory was achieved by Colombia, who defeated 'Tricolor' 5-4, starting on the right foot in Group C of this edition of the championship. Luis Urías, one of the top figures of Tricolor, committed a grave error in the tenth inning and failed to give his team the advantage, which was enough for Colombia to take the victory.
Mexico cannot win in their first games. In the 2017 edition, they fell to Italy, in the 2016 edition to the United States, in 2013 also to Italy, and in 2009 to Australia. In the next match, Mexico will play against the United States on Sunday, March 12, while Colombia will face Great Britain on the same day.
