That showed with the line-drive single to right and, of course, the big home run that put us up for good. It’s nice to have a hitter down at the bottom of the lineup that can do that kind of damage.nn“I don’t necessarily consider him to be a big power hitter right now, but he may develop into one.”nnKapler said Matos’ ability to come through for the Giants despite his struggles earlier in the game speaks to his mental toughness and his ability to stay locked in at the plate.nn“I think that’s worthy of noticing,” Kapler said. “The first part of the game doesn’t go particularly smoothly, but he kind of stays in control with his wits about him and is able to do some damage for us later in the game.
