On April 22nd, Munitaka Murakami keeps bringing the heat for the White Sox, crushing his ninth Homer of the season Tuesday against the D-backs, then marked his four-strait game going deep, fueling a monster start to his MLB career. Right after his blast, Miguel Vargas and Colson Montgomery unloaded back-to-back bombs, giving Chicago three straight homers in the first two innings, off Merrill Kelly. They dropped four runs in the first and three more in the second for a quick seven spot. Baseball heads are hyped because those nine dingers in just 23 games top any Japanese-born player ever. Murakami holds a three-homer edge over Shohei Otani, who had six in his first 23 as a hitter. Looking ahead, one more Tuesday Homer. Wednesday ties the White Sox record for five straight games with a long ball. That list includes AJ, Pierzinski, Paul Kanerko, and Frank Thomas, who did it twice. White Sox Power Surge has everyone watching, and Murakami's just getting

started in the bigs. That wraps MLB news today brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
