Hideki Matsui has fervently preached a team first belief throughout his entire career, making the A's 7-5 victory over the Tigers on Wednesday a win-win outcome for the DH. Matsui collected a pair of go-ahead hits in the game, the first coming in the form of his 500th professional home run between the U.S. and Japan, a solo shot off Detroit starter Duane Below in the sixth inning to untie a 2-2 game.
