The win moved the White Sox over .500 (27-26) and in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/whitesox\/standings\/wild-card\" target=\"_blank\">Wild Card spot<\/a> nearly a third of the way into the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cI mean, personally, I haven\u2019t been on a team .500 or above for a few years,\u201d Romo said. \u201cI haven\u2019t been on a team this good in a long time. So seeing how talented we are, seeing us perform day in and day out, winning ballgames, that fires me up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m pumped to go out there and compete every night. I feel super confident in our team, our guys, that we can beat anybody. So, yeah, it\u2019s been a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>Murakami\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/stats\/american-league\" target=\"_blank\">AL-leading<\/a> 18th home run came in the bottom of the first on a 97.5 mph four-seamer by Twins starter Zebby Matthews, tying the game after Brooks Lee had given Minnesota a lead in the top of the frame. It left the bat at 105.7 mph, traveled a Statcast-projected 375 feet and would have been a home run in every MLB park but Fenway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>The slugging first baseman\u2019s home run was a welcome sight for White Sox fans. He had been in a home run drought by his standards &#8212; the Japanese rookie went seven games without a long ball, the second-longest stretch without one since an eight-game stretch in April. Murakami\u2019s was his first since a two-homer game against the Cubs on May 16.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cAlways nice to have Mune homers, and these guys who go through these stretches certainly understand the concern,\u201d White Sox manager Will Venable said after the win. \u201cBut for us, Mune continues to take really good swings. He\u2019s making good swing decisions. He has been consistent about how he\u2019s taking his at-bats, consistent in how he goes about his day and his preparation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cNo concerns for us, but obviously very happy to see a Mune homer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>An inning later, Romo hit his fifth of the season to give the White Sox a lead they would not relinquish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cHitters and the coaches, we had a great meeting and great preparation going into it, great plan of attack and I went up there, first pitch of the game I saw I was ready for it and executed,\u201d Romo continued. \u201cSo, it was good to do that for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>Murakami also made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/whitesox\/news\/rikuu-nishida-makes-mlb-debut-for-white-sox\" target=\"_blank\">a bit of history<\/a> on Monday with his teammate, Rikuu Nishida. The White Sox became the third team in MLB history to have two Japanese-born position players in the same starting lineup with the duo, joining the Phillies (2008) and Mariners (2012). Nishida, making his MLB debut, collected his first Major League hit in the fourth on a single to center field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>The two blasts were enough support for White Sox starter Anthony Kay, who settled in after Lee\u2019s first-inning home run by turning in six innings of one-run ball on five hits with five strikeouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>The left-hander has settled into a groove for the White Sox this month. He has thrown five or more innings and allowed two or fewer earned runs in his last five starts. He has a 1.98 ERA, and the White Sox are 5-0 in games he\u2019s started in May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>Kay came back out for the sixth inning and bookended a pair of strikeouts around a groundout to first base to match a career-high in innings pitched. He shook off Romo \u201ca couple of times,\u201d the catcher said, using his confidence to pick up the two punchouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 iMsGag\">\n<p>\u201cJust conviction [in] what I really wanted there, especially so late in the game,\u201d Kay said. \u201cI knew what was working best for me and what was a good strike pitch in those counts and I think having that conviction is massive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/news\/munetaka-murakami-hits-18th-home-run-retakes-al-lead\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\nMore: https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/corinthiames.com.br\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHICAGO &#8212; The White Sox have feasted on the long ball this season.
