NEW YORK -- Hideki Matsui went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double and Jon Lieber (2-1) pitched eight strong innings in the New York Yankees' 7-4 victory over the Anaheim Angels on Thursday at Yankee Stadium.

Matsui struck out twice before homering over the right-field fence off Angels starter John Lackey for his fourth home run of the year.

Matsui's home run was his first in 10 games. He had gone hitless for the last three games.
