Matthews slammed against the wall while trying to catch a Josh Jung fly in the bottom of the first. The ball slipped out of his glove after hitting the wall, which allowed Jung to reach third with a triple.
Matthews finished the inning after some attention from a Houston trainer, but manager Joe Espada opted to send pinch-hitter Taylor Trammell to the plate when Matthews’ spot in the order came up with two outs in the second.
