Murakami hits majors-leading 13th homer, White Sox beat Padres 8-2 for 4th straight win
Murakami's three-run shot broke a tie with the Aaron Judge and Yordan Alavarez for the MLB lead. Montgomery's blast in the fifth gave Chicago its 14th multi-homer game of the season and a 7-0 lead.
Murakami and Montgomery homered in the same game for the seventh time this season. It's the most by any teammate duo in their team’s first 35 games of a season in MLB history, according to Elias and Sarah Langs.
Chicago starter Noah Schultz (2-1) allowed just two hits, struck out two and walked three in six scoreless innings. He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the first after walking three.
Sam Antonacci went 2 for 4 with an RBI for the White Sox.
San Diego's first hit came on a single by Fernando Tatis Jr. in the third. He tripled for the first time this season in the sixth for their second hit. But Chicago right fielder Austin Hays made a catch near the foul line, while falling down, to end the sixth and keep Tatis at third.
Tatis finished 3 for 3 and scored one of two San Diego runs in the eighth on a single by Manny Machado.
German Marquez (3-2) permitted seven earned runs and five hits over five innings. The Padres were 4-1 in his previous five starts this season, including winners in his last four.
The Padres had won 17 of their last 23 games.
