Astros’ Brice Matthews Homers Twice For Sugar Land
Triple-A Sugar Land second baseman Brice Matthews went 3-for-6 with a pair of home runs on Sunday as the Space Cowboys routed Round Rock 10-2. Matthews’ second-inning shot was a 386-foot, 98.7 mph homer that just cleared the fence to reach the berm in left field. He went back to left field again in the fourth inning, but this time, he added another 30 feet with a 110.7 mph blast to bounce off the facade of the second deck. Matthews is finishing up a solid season that saw him hit .258/.365/.455 with 16 home runs and 36 steals for Sugar Land. He also made his MLB debut with a brief 11-game stint with Houston.
