Trea Turner Draws Rave Twitter Reviews as USA Routs Cuba in 2023 WBC Semifinals

The 2023 World Baseball Classic will forever be known as the time Trea Turner took over the world.

Well, maybe he didn't go that far, but the star shortstop continued to shine bright on the international stage as Team USA advanced to the championship game. Turner went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI to lead a 14-2 rout over Cuba in Sunday's semifinal matchup at loanDepot Park in Miami.

Turner's stellar outing continues a magical run after he hit a go-ahead grand slam in Saturday's quarterfinal win over Venezuela. The 29-year-old now has four home runs in the tournament, the most ever by an American player at the World Baseball Classic.
