Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami made an impact in his Cactus League debut, recording two hits and two RBIs despite a late arrival due to highway traffic.
Murakami, who signed a two-year, $34 million deal in December, arrived 20 minutes before first pitch after getting caught in a massive highway accident. The 26-year-old hit a single in the third inning with a high exit velocity. Murakami, a former Central League MVP, is looking to provide a lift for the rebuilding White Sox after a dismal three-year stretch.
