WEST SACRAMENTO — Munetaka Murakami<\/a> has definitely found his groove after scuffling at the plate for most of April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The 26-year-old Japanese slugger made a little history on Saturday, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s settling in,\u201d manager Will Venable said. \u201cReally, in the few games leading up to [this] series, he\u2019d been swinging the bat well. Continues to control the zone. There\u2019s been some more contact in there, putting the ball in play\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Murakami\u2019s seven home runs are the most by any Japanese-born player in his first 21 games — two more than Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After that, Murakami continued to flex his muscles, but he couldn\u2019t sustain a rhythm at the plate. Prior to the series against the A\u2019s, Murakami was hitting just .167.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Things shifted quickly once the White Sox landed in Northern California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Murakami\u2019s hitting helped spark Chicago\u2019s slumbering offense to a lopsided win on Friday and nearly ignited another comeback on Saturday. His home run off Hogan Harris leading off the seventh broke a 6-6 tie and put the White Sox in position to win consecutive games for the first time since early April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

However, Chicago stranded two runners in the 10th and left them loaded in the 11th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Murakami, though, was steady and patient at the plate and set a season high with three walks. His White Sox teammates have quickly taken notice of the Japanese slugger, who has not yet reached the must-watch status of many stars, although he is getting close.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe\u2019s our superstar,\u201d third baseman Miguel Vargas said. \u201cWhen he comes to the plate, not just us, but everyone wants to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A\u2019s fans certainly took notice when Murakami belted a monster home run on Friday, a drive that went a Statcast-projected 431 feet, clearing the batter\u2019s eye. His home run Saturday wasn\u2019t as far, but was equally impressive, traveling 415 feet with an exit velocity of 103.9 mph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That helped raise Murakami\u2019s season average to .209, a minor improvement, but a sign that he is settling in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As is normal for most international players, Murakami declined to talk to the media, because he had done so the previous day. That\u2019s no concern for the White Sox, who prefer their young first baseman to make noise with his bat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe\u2019s in a really good spot,\u201d Venable said. \u201cAnother impressive home run today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
