John Matthews Rockets 3 Home Runs Thursday, July 26th , 2063 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Thunder-Billy Goats game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Toronto right fielder John Matthews thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Toronto to a win, 16-7, over Colorado. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Matthews said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run." Matthews, who is tied for 6th in the PL in hits with 72, was 4-for-4 on the day with 4 runs batted in. John Matthews singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Sloppy Thurston in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Sloppy Thurston in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Lou Bancroft in the 7th and walked in the 8th. In his season totals, Matthews has 16 home runs, .316 BA, .422 OBP, 52 RBIs and 45 runs scored. He has played in 61 games. |
