Murakami homered twice off Sugano in White Sox-Rockies game

Original: ホワイトソックス 対 ロッキーズ

Tomoyuki Sugano, pitching for the Colorado Rockies in his second MLB season, was hit for two home runs by Munetaka Murakami of the Chicago White Sox. Sugano finished his second major league year with a 12-12 record, and commentary noted Murakami may have grown even since his time in Japan. The matchup drew wide attention in Japan as a meeting of two NPB stars now in the majors.

Why now: Two high-profile Japanese stars faced each other in MLB, drawing strong interest from Japanese fans.
