2023 World Baseball Classic scores, WBC bracket, results: USA-Venezuela, Puerto Rico-Mexico in quarterfinals

The 2023 World Baseball Classic is onto the knockout stage. The quarterfinals wrap up this weekend as Mexico faces Puerto Rico and the United States squares off with Venezuela in Miami. Japan and Cuba await the winners in the semifinals. The Americans beat Colombia to finish second in Pool C on Wednesday night, and now Mike Trout and Co. will face Pool D winner Venezuela. Puerto Rico was also a winner on Wednesday night, but the team's ousting of the Dominican Republic came with a cost, as closer Edwin Díaz hurt his knee during the on-field celebration. 

Japan and Cuba both won quarterfinal games in Tokyo to eliminate Australia and Italy, respectively. With the field in the knockout stage, it's a single-elimination bracket style tournament with the championship game set for Tuesday, March 21 in Miami.
