Now that's more like it. A day after dropping the season opener to A.L. East doormat Tampa Bay, Hideki Matsui and the Bronx Bombers came out with all guns blazing, bashing out 11 hits and four homers as the New York Yankees demolished the Devil Rays 12-1 Wednesday night at Tokyo Dome.
Hideki Matsui belts a two-run homer to bust open the New York Yankees' lead over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at Tokyo Dome.
Matsui went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and an RBI single, but it was Yankees catcher Jorge Posada who did most of the damage, cranking out a pair of three-run homers, one from each side of the plate as the Yankees and Devil Rays split the two-game series.
