Murakami's parents witness career-high 6 RBIs with two homers

Munetaka Murakami, the Japanese slugger for the White Sox, delivered a powerful performance on Sunday, hitting two home runs and achieving a career-high six runs batted in. The standout game occurred on his bobblehead day, with his parents present to witness the event. Murakami had hit a two-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the eighth, going 3-for-5 overall. This marked his first home run in 13 games and his first since recovering from an injury.

"I believed the home runs would come sooner or later because my hitting strategy hasn't changed," Murakami said after the game. "As long as I stay patient, there will be opportunities to hit home runs."

Murakami expressed his overwhelming emotion at performing so well in front of his parents, especially after missing their previous visit due to injury. "I'm so excited I can't put it into words," he said, later greeting his parents in the stands. His parents had also thrown out the ceremonial first pitch for the game.
