Munetaka Murakami Launches Monster Home Run in White Sox ALDS Victory

Chicago White Sox rookie Munetaka Murakami provided all the offense needed in a 3-0 ALDS Game 1 win over the Cleveland Guardians by hitting a majestic two-run, 440-foot home run. The blast featured a 112.2 mph exit velocity—the hardest-hit ball of the postseason. After the game, the former NPB star drew laughs by admitting his post-homer celebration thoughts were "a little bit dirty" as Chicago pitched a shutout.
