Munetaka Murakami hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh inning, putting the Chicago White Sox ahead of the Los Angeles Angels 7-5. The 382-foot drive left the bat at 95.8 mph with a 48-degree launch and came off Angels reliever Drew Pomeranz. Murakami had earlier tied the game with a 415-foot solo shot in the fourth off Miles Mikolas, fueling Chicago's late comeback. The blast is Murakami's 12th of the season and puts him atop the MLB home-run leaderboard, underscoring his early-season power surge and impact on the White Sox offense.
