What happened: Two years after suffering a major injury at Texas A&M, Braden Montgomery hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning of his MLB debut. The rookie outfielder finished the night 2-for-5 with three RBIs to lead a 6-5 victory.

Why it matters: Montgomery became only the fifth player in MLB history to record a walk-off home run in his major league debut. The performance marks a triumphant return for the top prospect whose college career was nearly derailed by a broken ankle in 2024.

By the numbers: Game Stats: 2-for-5, 1 HR, 3 RBI. Montgomery is the 5th player ever with a walk-off HR in his MLB debut. The game-winning hit traveled 343 feet to left field.

What to watch: The White Sox continue their series against the Braves on Wednesday. Montgomery will look to sustain his momentum as Chicago seeks to capitalize on his historic arrival.
