Rundown

• [Intro] The Chicago White Sox hit eight home runs in their series win at Sacramento. Munetaka Murakami hit three of them and is starting to boom again at the plate. Is his production similar to that of Kyle Schwarber?
• [8:32] Everson Pereira had three doubles and made some nice defensive plays in right field. Can he lock down this outfield position?

• [24:32] Davis Martin is off to a fantastic start in 2026. What's been working for him against right-handed hitters, and despite the good results, what kind of go-to pitch is he searching for to neutralize left-handers?
• [34:08] With how well Hagen Smith has been pitching for Charlotte, is it time for another MLB debut?
• [40:17] Around MLB: The New York Mets have lost 11 games in a row, and Mason Miller is on some type of heater.
