White Sox Minor League Update: May 5, 2026
Dash and Knights roll, Barons and Ballers come up short
Caleb Bonemer continues to show why the Dash’s offense runs through him, launching his 12th homer of the season to jumpstart Winston-Salem’s win. | Caleb Bonemer/Instagram Charlotte Knights 5, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3 Shane Murphy, fresh off the bus from Birmingham, made it through three innings before he hit a spot of trouble in the fourth and fifth. The Jumbo Shrimp pecked him for three runs on eight hits, but just one went for extra bases.
It wasn’t a meltdown, but hardly a coronation. The Knights’ (17-17) bats arrived in the fifth. Ryan Galanie got plunked, taking one for the team, Caden Connor moved him to third, and Mario Camilletti’s sac fly knotted it up.
Then Josh Breaux uncorked the big blow, a two-run shot that gave Charlotte the lead. Galanie tacked on insurance with a solo shot in the sixth, and the bullpen got the job done. Chris Murphy, Tyler Schweitzer, and Ben Peoples stitched together four scoreless, blanking Jacksonville the rest of the game.
Braden Montgomery got his first taste tonight, going 0-for-4 with a walk and two whiffs. He did have an outfield assist. Welcome to Triple-A, kid.
