The United States continues its 2026 WBC campaign with its second game of pool play. After taking on Brazil on Friday night, Team USA will be back in action on Saturday, March 7 facing Great Britain. 

The U.S. got up early against Brazil, but had a little score when Team Brazil scored three runs in the seventh inning. Brazil's pitching problems got the best of them as they issued 17 walks, with Team USA winning 15-5. On Saturday, the United States will turn to Tarik Skubal with the start. 

Great Britain had a tough matchup to begin play in Pool B. They had to face Mexico, and despite out-hitting them 8-6, it was Team Mexico that finished with the 8-2 win. In order to advance out of the pool stage, teams must finish in the top two of the standings in their pool. Great Britain needs a win over the U.S. to give itself the best chance of finishing in the top two. Team Great Britain will start Tyler Viza.

All times ET. 

Bottom of the 2nd inning

8:39 p.m. -- Bryce Harper leads off the bottom of the second with a deep fly out to right center. Will Smith looked like he was going to get the U.S. on the board with a home run to right field, but Trayce Thompson made an impressive grab to rob the home run. 

Gunnar Henderson finally gets the U.S. in the hit column, with a two-out single to right field. Roman Anthony battles and works a full count. Henderson took off for second base, and Anthony hit a single up the middle, with Henderson moving up to third base. 

Ernie Clement hit a hard grounder to third, and an impressive play got him at first to end the inning. 

Top of the 2nd inning

8:26 p.m. -- Skubal gets Robinson to ground out to first to start the second inning. On the next pitch, Ivan Johnson grounds out to third. Justin Wylie strikes out to end the inning, and Skubal gets through the second with only nine pitches. 

Bottom of the 1st inning

8:20 p.m. -- Schwarber hit the ball hard on the ground, but unfortunately, Chisholm was able to gather it at second and throw him out for the first out. Similarly, Bregman hit a liner, but it was right at the third baseman for the second out. 

Judge grounded out to third and Viza has a 1, 2, 3 inning. 

Great Britain 1, USA 0

Top of the 1st inning

8:11 p.m. -- Skubal's first pitch of the game is a home run for Great Britain's Nate Eaton. 

Skubal then settles in and strikes out Jazz Chisholm Jr. on three straight pitches. Harry Ford popped out to third base for the second out of the inning. BJ Murray then grounded out to short to end the inning. Great Britain gets on the board first. 

Pre-game

8:06 p.m. -- Skubal and the United States have taken the field and Great Britain will hit first. 

8 p.m. -- First pitch for the game is coming up. 

7:45 p.m. -- Team USA only used four pitchers against Brazil. Logan Webb got the start and then turned to Michael Wacha. Gabe Speier and Mason Miller locked down the final innings. 

7:30 p.m. -- We are about 30 minutes away from the scheduled first pitch. If Friday night's game is any indicator, the game will start closer to 8:10 p.m. ET. 

7:15 p.m. -- It will be interesting to see how Great Britain uses its pitching staff in the game. Seven different pitchers were used in the loss to Mexico. 

7 p.m. -- Great Britain only mustered two runs in their loss to Mexico. Catcher Harry Ford clobbered a solo shot in the sixth inning. Team Great Britain's only other run in the loss was on an RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning by Trayce Thompson. 

6:45 p.m. -- Aaron Judge got Team USA on the board early on Friday night against Brazil, launching a two-run home run in his first at-bat. Head coach Mark DeRosa moved the lineup around, and on Saturday night, Kyle Schwarber will bat lead-off, while Alex Bregman will bat second to hopefully give Judge some baserunners when he comes up third. 

6:30 p.m. -- Great Britain will start Tyler Viza. He is a right-handed pitcher who spent time in the minor leagues, but most recently played ain Mexico during the 2025 baseball season. 

6:15 p.m. -- Here is how Great Britain is lining up for the game against the United States. 

6 p.m. -- The United States will start southpaw Tarik Skubal against Great Britain. Skubal supposedly is making only one start in the WBC before focusing on the Detroit Tigers' upcoming season. He also reportedly has a pitch count max of 55 pitches. 

5:45 p.m. -- Here is how Team USA will lineup against Great Britain. The U.S. overhauled the majority of its lineup, with only Aaron Judge and Roman Anthony batting in the same spot as they did in Friday night's win over Brazil.
