Nolan McLean’s Two-K Second Inning Keeps Team USA in Control Early

McLean stayed sharp in the second, striking out two and allowing only a two-out single to Tovar before retiring Abreu on a pop-out. Through two innings, Team USA’s starter had thrown just 18 pitches after Venezuela’s aggressive first ended in five. After a shaky outing against Italy earlier in the tournament, McLean has looked dominant so far in Miami.
