Matsui smoked two home runs



Matsui shook a mini-slump with the home runs,
which he credited to better balance at the plate.


“I think it’s very important where we are right now,”
Matsui said through an interpreter.
“With the way we finished last year and the fact that we are here right now,
we needed to prove to ourselves and start believing we can do this.”
