5-2
[April 29, 2026]
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 José 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 Domínguez 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.
Up next
Chicago goes for a three-game sweep Wednesday afternoon. Erick
Fedde (0-3) starts for the White Sox against Yusei Kikuchi
(0-3).
