In the top of the seventh, Venezuela’s Rougned Odor crushed a monster one-run homer off Team USA’s David Robertson to give Venezuela a 2-0 lead. Then the U.S. got one back in the bottom of the seventh on a sac fly, and in the eighth inning, Adam Jones hit a massive dong of his own to center field to tie it up.
