Cardinals righthander Fernando Salas made quick work of the U.S. lineup, using a low-90s fastball and a nice changeup for the 1-2-3 inning.

Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler didn’t look much better, getting ahead 1-0 on a fastball up and out of the zone before looking at an 84 mph changeup and then getting caught out front swinigng at another changeup. Fowler ended the inning by grounding a Salas fastball to second base for the out.
