"Montgomery, 23, has 12 homers and 34 RBIs in 41 games in the big leagues. He was Chicago's first-round pick in 2021 out of Southridge High School in Huntingburg, Ind. "I've always had some juice growing up, and now I'm finally growing into my body and understanding my swing," said the 6-foot-3 Montgomery. "And that's what it comes down to the most, using your whole body with swings. ... I would say, yeah, I've been a power hitter my whole life.""
"The rookie's surge has provided welcome optimism for the White Sox, who have lost seven of their past nine games and whose 46-83 record is the worst in the American League. The only team in the majors with more losses is the Colorado Rockies (93). Minnesota has fared better than Chicago, but the Twins are sliding fast and reached the 70-loss mark on Saturday. A trade deadline sell-off last month has left its mark on a franchise that is 3-9 over its past 12 games."
Colson Montgomery hit his first career grand slam to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 7-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Montgomery, 23, has 12 home runs and 34 RBIs in 41 major-league games and was a 2021 first-round pick out of Southridge High School. The White Sox have lost seven of nine and hold a 46-83 record, the worst in the American League. The Twins have reached 70 losses and are 3-9 over their past 12 games after a trade-deadline sell-off. Royce Lewis has hit a grand slam and a solo homer, boosting his numbers to eight homers and 34 RBIs in 74 games. The Twins expect Taj Bradley, acquired for Griffin Jax, to make his debut.
