Matsui, Dodgers Too Much for Astros
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Houston Astros, 9-7, at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers got a fine performance from left fielder Hideki Matsui, who was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. B.J. Gonzalez picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 1-0. The win has Los Angeles at 2-1.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fifth when Matsui, who finished 4th in the NL in batting average with .313 in 2005, hit a 2-run single. It propelled the Dodgers into the lead, 5-3.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Matsui. "And not try to do too much."
