<\/p>\nCHICAGO \u2014 Munetaka Murakami hit a two-run homer and Colson Montgomery followed with a solo shot in Chicago\u2019s three-run sixth inning as the White Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 Saturday for their second straight victory.<\/p>\n
Murakami\u2019s 431-foot shot to straightaway center off Brendon Little was his fourth homer and first at home since signing with the White Sox (3-5) as a free agent in December. He added a sacrifice fly to finish with three RBIs. Miguel Vargas added two hits, including a double.<\/p>\n
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his first homer of the season, a two-run shot in the top of the sixth to give Toronto (4-4) a 2-1 lead. Pinch hitter Nathan Lukes drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n
Before the game, the Blue Jays placed two-time All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk on the injured list with a dislocated and fractured left thumb.<\/p>\n
Chris Murphy (1-0), the third of six Chicago pitchers, worked one inning and earned the win. Seranthony Dominguez worked around a single and walk in the ninth for his first save.<\/p>\n
Little (0-2) got only one out, while allowing three runs on three hits.<\/p>\n
Murakami\u2019s sac fly in the first gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead off Toronto opener Mason Fluharty. Lazaro Estrada followed with four scoreless and hitless innings.<\/p>\n

After Murakami and Montgomery gave Chicago a 4-2 lead, Lukes’ sac fly cut it to 4-3 in the seventh. <\/p>\n
The White Sox added two unearned runs in the eighth on a botched rundown when Toronto catcher Tyler Heineman threw the ball over third base and into left.<\/p>\n
