Baseball: Murakami hits go-ahead homer as White Sox sweep Tigers

Murakami of the Chicago White Sox hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning, breaking a 4-4 tie and securing a 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers. This go-ahead hit marked Murakami's 28th home run of the season, earned on May 27, 2023. The 26-year-old rookie expressed pride in his contribution, stating, "Not a single player felt we were going to lose."

Meanwhile, in other MLB news, Kodai Senga of the New York Mets made his third save of the year with a hitless, scoreless ninth inning, helping the Mets edge out the Washington Nationals 4-3. On the injury front, Boston Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain.

Yoshida, who had been performing well after the All-Star break, will miss time after hitting a double against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. The versatile left-handed player, batting .274 with five home runs and 28 RBIs in 87 games this season, had previously dealt with a similar injury.
