Game Thread: White Sox (0-3) at Marlins (3-0)
The South Siders hope to bounce back from a terrible opening series by frying some fish in Miami
Munetaka Murakami looks on, preparing to hit at least one more home run tonight, hopefully. | MLB Photos via Getty Images The winless White Sox will face the undefeated Marlins in Miami tonight to start the second series of the 2026 season. Davis Martin, who had a fair Spring Training, will get his first start of the season.
Martin owned an ERA of 3. 24, with 13 strikeouts, eight walks, and six earned runs throughout 16 2/3 innings. Edgar Quero is back behind the plate.
Will Venable has mixed up his lineup a bit, putting Munetaka Murakami as his second batter and Colson Montgomery, who hit a grand slam in Sunday’s game, at cleanup: While the South Siders hit a rough patch against a tough Brewers team, there are some highlights left from the opening series. The team shared that the young slugger Colon Montgomery had surpassed Alexei Ramírez, becoming the fastest player in team history to record his first two career grand slams. Previously, Ramírez managed it in 97 games in 2008, but Montgomery made it happen faster.
And to go with the positives from the first series, Murakami homered in all three games. (I even got to see one in person. ) The Marlins are starting Chris Paddack, who had a solid Spring Training.
