Murakami hits first career grand slam and the White Sox beat the Athletics 9-2
- First baseman Munetaka Murakami hit his first career grand slam on Friday as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Athletics 9-2 in West Sacramento, Calif., in front of 12,027 fans.
- The White Sox signed Murakami to a two-year, $34 million deal to revive a struggling offense that previously posted an MLB-worst.602 OPS and ranked among baseball's worst.
- Starter Davis Martin allowed one run on three hits over seven innings, while Murakami went 3 for 5 with a 431-foot home run that cleared the center field batter's eye.
- The Sox collected a season-high 15 hits with contributions from shortstop Colson Montgomery and catcher Edgar Quero, improving the team's record to 7-13.
- Chicago continues the three-game series Saturday with Erick Fedde facing Athletics pitcher Luis Severino in a matchup of struggling starters.
