MIAMI — Aaron Nola will start Monday night’s World Baseball Classic semifinal for Italy against Venezuela rather than Michael Lorenzen.
Italy manager Francisco Cervelli stated he made the decision Sunday but waited until Monday to make the announcement.
“My reason was my gut,” he stated. “Everyone is available, but I think Nola is the right person. That’s my opinion, and I’m taking responsibility for my decisions.”
A 32-year-old right-hander, Nola got the win in the group stage finale against Mexico on March 11. He allowed four hits over five scoreless innings with five strikeouts and one walk, throwing 69 pitches.
Keider Montero, a 25-year-old right-hander, starts for Venezuela at LoanDepot Park.
Monday’s winner plays the United States in the final Tuesday night.
