For a second there, it seemed like South Side Sox recaps might simply turn into Munetaka Murakami home-run watches. Based on the flat start to Fridayâs game, a fairly hapless team effort against a mediocre opponent, perhaps.
But the Good Guys rallied late, scraping and scrapping their way to four runs in their final three frames to eke out the win, 5-4.
But letâs get right to the shot that stopped the fizzless White Sox offense, back in the fourth inning.
Already down, 1-0, Murakami reached a tie atop the MLB home run leaderboard with a ball that, off the bat of 99% of hitters in the game, had no business leaving the park:
Murakami left the yard on a changeup, weight fighting to stay back on the ball â and off of the end of the bat, to boot! Itâs the kind of swing you might lay out in a backyard Wiffle ball game, only Mune took his in the majors and sent it 415 feet away on 104 mph contact. The rookie is, simply, a beast.
Better, Murakamiâs homer broke a streak of 10 straight hitless at-bats against a ragtag assemblage of Nationals bullpen arms. But Washington came right back in the fifth, after a single, (another) catcherâs interference from Edgar Quero and walk packed the sacks. The lead run came home on another walk, although in starter Erick Feddeâs defense, the lead was lost on a poor check-swing call on a full count. A second Nationals run later scored on a failed 6-4-3 double play.
