Mike Trout and Team USA were right off the blocks against Canada as they took a 12-1 lead by the end of the second inning at the Chase Field Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona. Trout homered on a three-run home run as he hit a low fastball to left field.

Team USA, with a star studded batting lineup, raced to a nine-run lead in the first innings. Nolan Arenado started the scoring with 2 RBIs, with Mookie Betts and Trout completing. After four straight single RBIs, Cedric Mullins and Betts were at first and third base respectively. Trout came in for his second at-bat and struck his first homer of the game.

Mike Trout, Team USA's captain, will be looking for his team to make a comeback of some sort after their humiliating loss to Team Mexico in their second game of Pool C. Team Mexico defeated the hosts 11-5 at a packed Chase Field Stadium.

Team USA fans were quick to get on Twitter and voice their support for their captain and team.

More fans piled on their quirky reactions as they showed their love for their team.
