  "account": "Chicago White Sox ace Munetaka Murakami delivered a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, propelling the team to a 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, thereby completing a three-game sweep.\n\nChicago found themselves trailing 3-0 and 4-1 before staging a comeback. The White Sox capitalized on Tyler Holton's walk to Sam Antonacci to start the seventh, and Murakami followed with his 28th homer of the season, extending the White Sox's lead to 6-4.\n\nHagen Smith (2-0) pitched effectively, tossing 1 2/3 innings, while Sean Newcomb closed out the game in the final two innings, securing his fourth save of the season.\n\nFor Detroit, rookie Max Clark contributed significantly, driving in two runs with an RBI single during the seventh inning, coming off the bench for his major league debut.\n\nThe win extends the White Sox's lead in the AL Central by 5 1/2 games.",
