It's March 15th. Let's get into entertainment and celebrity news.
In the World Baseball Classic semifinals, Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles,
will start a third base for the United States against the Dominican Republic on Sunday.
Manager Mark DeRosa chose him over Alex Bregman based on the matchup against pitcher Luis Severino.
Henderson has dominated Severino, going seven for nine in his career, with a home run, a double, and four runs batted in.
That strong history gives him the edge in this key spot.
Bregman, meanwhile, has faced Severino 5 for 21 in regular season play,
including one homer and three runs batted in.
It's a tougher record for the usual starter.
Henderson is also hot in the tournament,
batting 5 for 10 over two games with a double and a home run.
De Rosa called it playing the hot hand,
praising those numbers against Severino.
The lineup came out the night before the game,
and Bregman was fine with the switch,
as Team USA pushes toward the final.
