For SF Giants’ Matos, refined mechanics, approach fueling hot streak

ST. LOUIS — The Giants have transformed into an offensive juggernaut over the last two weeks, and Luis Matos has had no small role in that success.

Since being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 21, Matos is hitting .400/.429/.711 with three home runs, eight RBIs and 11 runs scored over 12 games. In his fourth game back, Matos led the Giants to a win over the Milwaukee Brewers by hitting a two-run homer in the second, then scoring the go-ahead run on a single by Heliot Ramos in the ninth.
