The Chicago White Sox overcame the Los Angeles Angels with a score of six to zero in Anaheim on Monday night. Munetaka Murakami recorded his fourteenth home run for the season, with Miguel Vargas also driving one out. Pitcher Martin threw seven solid innings for the White Sox, moving his record to five wins and one loss, his earned run average now 1.64.
For Tuesday night's game, White Sox plan to start right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde (0-3, 3.24 ERA). The Angels anticipate sending left-handed pitcher Sam Aldegheri (1-0, 5.40 ERA) to the mound.
Prior Encounters, Team Adjustments
This latest shutout follows a previous tight contest last week where the White Sox secured an 8-7 win over the Angels. That prior game, played on Monday, April 28, 2026, was delayed by rain. In that event, Murakami had hit a three-run homer, his twelfth at that point in the season, during a seven-run rally in the seventh inning. Miguel Vargas also contributed a home run then. Andrew Benintendi recorded three runs batted in. The team's recent form prior to this period saw Chicago holding six wins against four losses in its ten previous outings.
