From Bryan Hoch:

Patrolling left field six batters into his first stint in the field after undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery in November, Hideki Matsui had to race into the corner to flag down a fly ball. No better time than the present.

Matsui passed his first defensive test with flying colors, recording the final out of the second inning on Thursday and retiring Ryan Doumit. He also may have put to rest any concerns about his repaired knee, which slowed his progress this spring.
