CHICAGO – It’s time for a White Sox power hitting roll call. Munetaka Murakami, tied for the Major League home run lead with the Yankees' Aaron Judge at 12? Check. Colson Montgomery, who homered during a 5-2 White Sox victory over the Angels on Tuesday at Rate Field, his eighth of the season? Also present. And of course, catcher Drew Romo. Wait, what? Yes, the switch-hitting catcher went deep twice as the White Sox claimed the series victory with a second straight win. Not only twice, but Romo homered from the left side against José Soriano on a 0-2 pitch in the fourth and then from the right side in the sixth, becoming the first White Sox player to homer from both sides in the same game since Leury García on July 25, 2020, vs. the Twins. “That doubles it,” said a euphoric Romo, who had both baseballs from both home runs. “One of the best days of my life.”
