Murakami's 11th HR, Domnguez's 6th save lead White Sox to 5-4 win over the
Nationals
CHICAGO (AP) --- Munetaka Murakami hit his 11th homer of the season and
reliever Seranthony Domnguez struck out two in the ninth inning as the Chicago
White Sox beat the Washington Nationals 5-4 on Friday night.
The White Sox have won four of their last five games. Munetaka has hit a home
run in six of the last seven games and moved into a tie with Houston's Yordan
Alvarez for the MLB lead.
Munetaka's latest homer was a 415-foot shot to center field in the fourth
inning.
Domnguez entered in the ninth and struck out Nasim Nuez, and coaxed Jos Tena
into a ground out. With the potential tying run at third base, Nationals
leadoff hitter James Wood --- who has the fourth-best OPS in the league ---
struck out swinging and Domnguez earned his sixth save.
Jordan Leasure (2-0) struck out one in one inning and gave up a home run to
Brady House.
The Nationals scored first on a sacrifice fly by Luis Garca Jr. in the second,
and scored two more runs in the fifth. Reliever Riley Cornelio (0-1) pitched
two innings, walking four batters. He allowed earned runs and had a strikeout
in his MLB debut.
Colson Montgomery and Tristan Peters hit RBI singles and Luisangel Acua scored
in the seventh as the White Sox took their first lead in the game.
Up next
The Nationals send Jake Irvin (1-3, 6.00 ERA) against Chicago's Noah Schultz
(1-1, 3.86 ERA) on Saturday.
