Mexico beat Dominican Republic 1x0 in the Santiago 2023 baseball game.

Mexico, with a solid opening from right-handed Luis Fernando Miranda, defeated the Dominican Republic 1x0 in baseball at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games and left the Dominicans on the brink of elimination.

If Panama defeats host Chile on the same Saturday, the Dominican Republic will be left with no chance of advancing to the 'Super Round', which will determine the medal games.

Miranda prevailed in a great pitching duel against Gerson Garabito to guide the Mexicans. The right-hander worked five and a third innings, allowing only two hits and striking out six, clinching the victory. He issued a pair of walks. Samuel Zazueta and Jesús Cruz completed the performance on the mound.

The only run of the match came in the third inning: Randy Romero reached base on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on a hit by Norberto Obeso, then stole third base and scored on a wild pitch.

Mexico leads Group A with a record of 2-0, followed by Panama (1-0), Chile (0-1), and the Dominican Republic (0-2). Group B is composed of Brazil (1-0), Cuba (1-0), Venezuela (0-1), and Colombia (0-1). The Brazilians will face the Colombians on Sunday, and the Cubans will face the Venezuelans. The top two teams from each group will advance to the 'Super Round'.
