CHICAGO - Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami homered for the third straight game in Wednesday's 15-2 win against the Minnesota Twins, following in Shohei Ohtani's footsteps as just the second Japanese player to hit 20 home runs in his Major League Baseball rookie season.
He reached the milestone in his 55th MLB game with a solo shot to the opposite field in the bottom of the seventh inning at Rate Field, giving the White Sox a 14-1 lead.
