New York Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui blasted a three-run homer Monday for his second home run in a spring exhibition game Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Matsui, who went 3-for-3 before being replaced on defense in the sixth, has so far batted .556, with five hits and five RBIs in his nine at-bats in three games.
With two outs and runners on first and second in the bottom of the fifth, Matsui connected with Evan Thomas' first pitch and rocketed the ball over the right-field fence.
The 28-year-old slugger singled to right in his first at-bat in the second and hit a bloop single in the fourth. The Blue Jays edged the Yankees 9-8.
