6 Sep
Summary
- Three White Sox players surpassed 30 home runs this 2026 season.
- Munetaka Murakami hit his 30th homer, joining Vargas and Montgomery.
- Montgomery set a franchise record for a shortstop with 31 home runs.
The White Sox have achieved a significant milestone in their 2026 season, with Munetaka Murakami joining Miguel Vargas and Colson Montgomery in hitting over 30 home runs. This marks the fourth season in franchise history where at least three White Sox players have reached this benchmark.
Murakami's 30th home run recently ended a 74-plate appearance drought since his last long ball. He now joins an elite group of Japanese-born MLB players with a 30-homer season. Montgomery reclaimed the team lead with his 31st home run, and this marks the 10th time he and Murakami have homered in the same game this year.
Furthermore, Montgomery has set a new single-season franchise record for home runs by a player who primarily plays shortstop. This accomplishment adds another layer to the team's remarkable offensive performance during the 2026 season, as they continue their pursuit of the American League Central title.
