Chicago White Sox third baseman Munetaka Murakami hit his fourth home run in the first eight games of his MLB career, surpassing Shohei Ohtani to set a new record for Japanese players.

Murakami, 26, launched a solo shot to center field in the sixth inning off Blue Jays reliever Brendon Little to achieve the feat during Saturday's 6-3 win.

This performance highlights his power potential, as he joins Trevor Story as one of the few players to hit four home runs in his first eight games.
