LOS ANGELES: The United States men’s baseball team qualified for the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday, beating Venezuela 4-2 to finish 4-0 and win the America’s qualifying tournament in Florida.
Two-time Major League Baseball all-star Todd Frazier had a home run, four hits and two RBIs for the Americans, who will compete in the Olympic baseball tournament with Japan, Mexico, Israel and South Korea. A sixth team will be added later.
The Olympic tournament will be held July 28 to August 7 in Fukushima and Yokohama.
Venezuela can still get into the Games if they win another qualifying tournament on June 22-26 in Mexico.
Australia, the Dominican Republic, Netherlands and Taiwan are also competing in that competition.
