The United States is just a win away from successfully defending its World Baseball Classic title.

The United States dominated Cuba 14-2 in the WBC semifinals on Sunday night at LoanDepot Park, thanks largely to a pair of massive home runs from Trea Turner in what was a wild offensive showing for Team USA. They’ll move into the championship game on Tuesday night, where they’l take on either Japan or Mexico in Miami. A win there would make the United States just the second two-time winner of the event.

Cuba took an early 1-0 lead after Adam Wainwright walked in Roel Santos in the first inning. That, though, was about their only high point of the night. The United States jumped in the bottom of the inning when Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer off of Roenis Elias.
