Team Israel will play its third game of the World Baseball Classic Tuesday night at 7:05 p.m. ET, against the Dominican Republic in Miami, Florida.

After picking up a 3-1 victory over Nicaragua Sunday, Team Israel fell to 1-1 Monday, losing to Puerto Rico 10-0. Now Israel will enter a pivotal game against one of the tournament's most talented teams, one day after being shutout.

Puerto Rico combined for an eight-inning perfect game, not allowing Israel to reach base once, as the game ended an inning early due to the tournament's ten-run mercy rule.

The Dominican Republic is also 1-1 in World Baseball Classic play.

Venezuela currently leads Pool D with a 3-0 record. Puerto Rico is second behind team Venezuela, standing at 2-1. Israel and Team Dominican Republic are tied for third at 1-1, with Nicaragua being swept out of the tournament, at 0-4.

Team Dominican Republic has yet to release its starting lineup for Tuesday's game, however, it did name Pittsburgh Pirates righty Roansy Contreras its starting pitcher.

2) 2B Zack Gelof

3) 1B Matt Mervis
