Milwaukee fell behind 7-2 in the first three innings before
coming all the way back. Yelich put the Brewers in front with
his first career pinch-hit homer, a two-out shot on a 2-2 pitch.
Chicago's Munetaka Murakami homered for a third straight game in
a losing cause.
Murakami’s 375-foot drive off Brandon Sproat in the second
inning made him the fourth player ever to homer in each of his
first three career MLB games, according to Sportradar. The
others were Trevor Story for Colorado in 2016, Kyle Lewis for
Seattle in 2019 and Chase DeLauter for Cleveland this year.
The White Sox wasted a five-RBI performance from Colson
Montgomery, who hit a first-inning grand slam. Everson Pereira
also homered for the White Sox.
Gary Sánchez hit a two-run shot for Milwaukee.
After Milwaukee's Brice Turang hit an RBI single that cut
Chicago's lead to 7-4, Domínguez (0-1) came out of the bullpen
with one out in the eighth. Domínguez retired William Contreras
on a foul pop before allowing a two-run single to Luis Rengifo
that made it 7-6.
Yelich then sent a 421-foot drive just inside the right-field
foul pole.
Milwaukee relievers Garret Anderson, Jared Koenig, Jake Woodford
(1-0) and Trevor Megill combined for six innings of shutout
relief after Sproat allowed seven runs, four walks and six hits
over three innings.
After Megill allowed a leadoff single to Tristan Peters in the
ninth, he struck out Chase Meidroth and Murakami. Megill then
got out Miguel Vargas on a fly to the warning track to pick up
his first save.
