CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Drew Romo hit the first two home runs of his career \u2014 one from each side of the plate \u2014 as the Chicago White Sox beat the skidding Los Angeles Angels 5-2 on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n
Colson Montgomery homered in the second off Angels starter Jos\u00e9 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.<\/p>\n
Davis Martin (4-1) outpitched Soriano, allowing one run and seven hits in 5 2\/3 innings. Martin struck out seven and walked one.<\/p>\n
Sean Newcomb fanned three in 1 1\/3 scoreless innings and Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez worked a hitless ninth for his seventh save.<\/p>\n
Josh Lowe homered and Jo Adell had an RBI single for the Angels, who have lost five straight and nine of 10.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Munetaka Murakami scored to make it 5-1 in the seventh when Sam Antonacci was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
