If you had Munetaka Murakami on your fantasy team yesterday, you were doing a happy dance! The Chicago White Sox slugger absolutely demolished the Houston Astros on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two home runs and a jaw-dropping six RBIs as the White Sox cruised to a 12โ€“3 victory. Six RBIs in one game! That's the kind of stat-line you see in a video game, not real life. The White Sox improved to 55โ€“49 on the season, good for first place in the AL Central.

It wasn't just Murakami's day โ€” Sunday was a total EXPLOSION of baseball across the league, with 15 games on the schedule. There were blowouts, nail-biters, extra-inning drama, and even a near-perfect pitching performance. The Brewers also put up 11 runs, the Phillies drubbed the Yankees 11โ€“4, the Mets shocked the Dodgers 8โ€“3, and the Twins outlasted the Athletics 11โ€“8 in a high-scoring affair. Basically, pitchers everywhere had a rough Sunday!

On the flip side, two games went to extra innings โ€” the Braves squeaked past the Orioles 3โ€“2 in 11 innings on a Pete Alonso home run, and the Reds nipped the Cardinals 5โ€“3 in 10. Meanwhile, Drew Rasmussen stole hearts in Tampa Bay with a stunning 7-inning, 9-strikeout gem that beat Cleveland 1โ€“0 in a classic pitcher's duel. What a day to be a baseball fan!
