OAKLAND, Calif. — Hideki Matsui got his first hit with the Athletics and topped 2,500 between Japan and the majors as Oakland raised money for earthquake and tsunami victims in his homeland. "I feel relief just getting my first hit as a member of the A's and getting our first win," Matsui said. "I'm not really focused on my hits between Japan and the big leagues."
