Watch: Tucker Hits Huge Triple Against Team Mexico in WBC
USA TODAY Sports

Houston Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker stays hot for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. In the bottom of the second inning Tucker hit a beautiful triple that set Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson up for the RBI-single.

Tucker's hit sliced down the right field line and hit the corner making it incredibly elusive for right fielder Alex Verdugo. That extra time allowed Tucker to race to third.

Anderson then came up and hit a single allowing Tucker to score Team USA's first run of the evening, cutting Team Mexico's lead in half to 2-1. 

Tucker notched the triple in his first at-bat of the night as he continues to produce for Team USA and manager Mark DeRosa.
