Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena doubled twice and drove in five runs as Mexico routed Canada 10–3 on Wednesday in Phoenix to win Pool C in the World Baseball Classic.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez added a two-run single and a solo homer for Mexico, which finished 3–1 in group play. Canada, which fell to 2–2, would be eliminated Wednesday night if the United States (3–1) defeats Colombia (1–2).
