Romo hits first 2 career home runs as White Sox beat Soriano and Angels, 5-2
CHICAGO (AP) --- Drew Romo hit the first two home runs of his career --- one
from each side of the plate --- as the Chicago White Sox beat the skidding Los
Angeles Angels 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Colson Montgomery homered in the second off Angels starter Jos Soriano (5-1),
ending his shutout streak at 25 2/3 innings. The right-hander gave up three
runs and six hits over five innings, raising his major league-leading ERA from
0.24 to 0.84.
Davis Martin (4-1) outpitched Soriano, allowing one run and seven hits in 5 2/3
innings. Martin struck out seven and walked one.
Sean Newcomb fanned three in 1 1/3 scoreless innings and Seranthony Domnguez
worked a hitless ninth for his seventh save.
Josh Lowe homered and Jo Adell had an RBI single for the Angels, who have lost
five straight and nine of 10.
The 24-year-old Romo, called up Saturday from Triple-A Charlotte, connected
left-handed off Soriano for a two-run homer in the fourth that gave Chicago a
3-1 lead. The switch-hitting catcher went deep again in the sixth, a solo shot
to center field from the right side off lefty reliever Brent Suter.
Munetaka Murakami scored to make it 5-1 in the seventh when Sam Antonacci was
hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
White Sox outfielder Everson Pereira left the game with right shoulder soreness
after taking an awkward swing. The team said he is day-to-day.
