Designated hitter Hideki Matsui hit a single in a 1-for-2 spring debut for the Los Angeles Angels in a 6-5 win against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday.
Playing in his first game since helping the New York Yankees win the World Series last season, Matsui stroked Radhames Liz' 3-1 pitch up the middle in the fourth inning after striking out in his only other at-bat in the first against Chris Young.
Matsui later gave way to pinch runner Cory Aldridge.
