Drew Romo Switch-Hits 2 Home Runs as White Sox Bash Angels
The switch-hitting catcher became the first player to hit his first two MLB homers from both sides of the plate in one game since 2012.
- On Tuesday, Chicago White Sox catcher Drew Romo hit the first two home runs of his career, leading the White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
- Recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, Romo is a 24-year-old offseason waiver claim who provided immediate offensive production for the White Sox after the team designated veteran Reese McGuire for assignment.
- Romo's 377-foot two-run blast off starter Jose Soriano in the fourth inning gave Chicago a 3-1 lead, followed by a 397-foot solo shot off reliever Brent Suter in the sixth from the opposite side of the plate.
- Outfielder Everson Pereira left the game with right shoulder soreness and is day-to-day, though teammate Colson Montgomery also homered in the second inning to support Romo's effort.
- Chicago seeks to complete a three-game sweep of the Angels on Wednesday afternoon, with Romo's breakout performance suggesting the White Sox may have found an answer to their season-long catching struggles.
