Athletics righthander Trevor Cahill looked impressive in his inning for the United States. Using a fastball in the low 90s and a breaking ball in the low 80s, he gave up just a hit to center fielder Fernando Martinez before striking out catcher Welington Castillo and right fielder Gorkys Hernandez. DH Scott Campbell opened the inning with a fly out to left field.

Cahill was consistently in the 90-92 mph range, peaking at 94, and overmatched every hitter except Martinez.
