The White Sox were hoping for an offensive jolt at a stagnant position when they designated catcher Reese McGuire for assignment last weekend and recalled Drew Romo, a 24-year-old offseason waiver claim who hit .298/.385/.561 in 17 games at Triple-A Charlotte.
But they couldn’t have expected what Romo delivered Tuesday against the Angels. He belted the first two home runs of his career — and the first two home runs by a Sox catcher this season.
The switch-hitting Romo smashed a two-run blast from the left side of the plate against Angels ace Jose Soriano in the fourth inning, then took reliever Brent Suter deep from the right side of the plate in the sixth.
