Baseball: Rookie Murakami gets 2 homers, 6 RBIs in White Sox rout

CHICAGO - Munetaka Murakami blasted two home runs and plated a career-high six runs while going 3-for-5 as the Chicago White Sox whipped the Houston Astros 12-3 on Sunday.

Murakami had a game to remember on the day his parents threw out the ceremonial first pitch and bobblehead dolls of him were given out to the fans at Rate Field, going deep for the first time since returning from a right hamstring strain on July 10.
