Munetaka Murakami has an RBI in 3 of the 4 White Sox Postseason games 💪 https://t.co/0aY67oQp3o Via @MLB on X

What happened: Murakami's latest run came on an RBI single that made it a 2-1 game. The hit follows his 2-run homer in the ALDS opener on Oct. 3.

Why it matters: Chicago is playing ALDS baseball in the 2026 postseason. Steady middle-order production shortens the path to runs in a short series.

By the numbers: RBI in 3 of 4 postseason games; 3 ALDS RBIs; includes 2-run homer in opener.

What to watch: Chicago continues ALDS play with Murakami in the middle of the order. The next game tests whether the RBI pace holds.
