  "summary": "Chicago White Sox player Munetaka Murakami has hit his 26th homer of the season, contributing to the team's 6-3 comeback win against the Cleveland Guardians. Murakami's solo shot off Cleveland starter Gavin Williams sparked a five-run rally in the bottom half of the game, helping the White Sox end their four-game losing streak. The victory increased Chicago's division lead to three games over the Guardians and the Minnesota Twins. In other MLB news, the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their season-worst seven-game losing streak with a 2-1 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks, thanks to a clutch performance from Shohei Ohtani.",
