MUNETAKA MURAKAMI'S MLB-LEADING 12th HOME RUN 🚨 White Sox take the lead in the 7th! | MLB Highlights

That's exactly what the Sox have done here in the seventh. So the four-seam fastball, he uses almost 72% of the time backed up by the knuckle curve. He inherits runners at second and third. Tying run 90 feet away in the infield end at all four positions. Munetaka Murakami steps in. First pitch in there, strike one. Murakami, one for three tonight, singling in his first at bat. A chance to give the Sox their first lead of the game. Oh, one. Stops that one. That was a slider well wide of the plate. To the infield end for the Angels. A one-run ball game. That Pomerantz is overthrown. I mean, look, he's not the hardest throw around. He was trying to throw that one through his catcher. And the key really is not to throw it through him. Throw it to him. Murakami, the Sox take the lead here in the seventh. And everyone who has stuck out this three-hour rain delay is loving it. 12th home run. He's now driven in 23. And the Sox have their first lead of the night. A towering blast. It was way up there. The Suzuki brings in the left-hander, and it doesn't matter. Murakami just unloads. And the Sox lead by a pair with six outs to go. Monotaka Murakami now owns the Major League home run lead by himself, his 12th home run of the season. Wow. We got MVP chants. Chants are screaming MVP. Well, although they don't give it out in April, he's making a concerted effort to be in a lot of different discussions. One is Rookie of the Year. The Sox had high expectations with this big free agent signing. I don't think anybody expected this, that Monotaka Murakami would be leading Major League Baseball with 12 home runs at this point in the season.
