Astros' Carlos Correa: Homers in WBC semi-final win

Correa went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Puerto Rico's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Netherlands at Dodger Stadium in Monday's semi-final game in the World Baseball Classic, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The 441-foot homer, which was measured as the ninth longest in Dodger Stadium in the Statcast era, tied the game after the Netherlands took an early 2-0 lead. He also scored the game's winning run. Correa, a shortstop by trade, flashed his defense, too, making a key stop at third base. For the tournament, the Astros young star has been a key cog in the Puerto Rico lineup, hitting .400 (8-for-20) with three homers and nine RBI.
