Chicago White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami left his team’s game with the Detroit Tigers due to right hamstring tightness. Murakami grabbed his hamstring after beating a throw to first when he hit into a fielder’s choice in the third inning. Luisangel Acuña came in to pinch-run for him. The 26-year-old Murakami has been a huge addition for the White Sox since signing a two-year, $34 million contract in December. Murakami has 20 homers and entered Friday tied with Houston’s Yordan Alvarez for second place in the majors in that category.
