Tyler Holton (1-5) walked Sam Antonacci to start the seventh and
Murakami followed with his 28th homer of the season to put the
White Sox up 6-4.
The White Sox now lead Detroit by 5 1/2 games in the AL Central.
Hagen Smith (2-0) went 1 2/3 innings for the win and Sean
Newcomb pitched the final two innings for his fourth save.
Detroit left fielder Brett Callahan, making his major league
debut, tripled and drove in two runs on the first pitch of his
career. He's the first Tigers hitter to triple in his first
at-bat since Bill Irwin did it on May 18, 1912 against the
Philadelphia Athletics.
Irwin, one of the emergency players when the team went on strike
to protest Ty Cobb's suspension, was playing his only MLB game.
The triple helped Detroit take a 3-0 lead in the second. Fellow
rookie Max Clark also had an RBI single in the inning.
Antonacci's RBI groundout made it 3-1 in the third, but Colt
Keith led off the bottom of the inning with a homer.
Drew Romo's two-run homer pulled the White Sox within 4-3 in the
fifth, and Colson Montgomery's RBI single tied it in the sixth.
Detroit's Dillon Dingler snapped a 0-for-28 streak with an RBI
double to make it 6-5 in the seventh. Miguel Vargas homered in
the ninth.
