How to Watch Dominican Republic vs. Japan: Stream Caribbean Series Baseball Live, TV Channel

Dominican Republic and Japan face off on Saturday in Caribbean Series baseball action.

The city of Mexicali, Mexico, is set to host the 2025 Caribbean Series, where Dominican Republic and Japan will be facing off on Saturday. Leones del Escogido will be representing the Dominican Republic at this year’s tournament, led by manager and former Major League Baseball slugger Albert Pujols. The Leones defeated their intracity rivals from Santo Domingo, Tigres del Licey, in a tight and drama-filled seven-game series to win their first championship since 2016. Game 7 was particularly memorable, with Rays third baseman Junior Caminero’s tie-breaking 454-foot home run in the top of the ninth, followed by former D-backs outfielder Sócrates Brito’s game-saving catch with two out and two on in the bottom of the frame to secure the win.
