The Dominican Republic team to the World Baseball Classic ended its warm-up games with one win and two losses in Jupiter, Florida. Yesterday, in the game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the DR lost 4-1. Interestingly, Dominican Albert Pujols chose not to play for the Cardinals out of respect for the Dominican team. He was not able to get clearance of the Cardinals to play for the DR in the WBC.
