Rewind: Romo returns, thrown right into mix in Giants win
SAN FRANCISCO — For the first time in nearly three months, Buster Posey looked out at the mound and saw Sergio Romo glaring back in at a hitter.
“He looked normal,” Posey said. “So that’s a good sign.”
Romo’s return from a flexor strain wasn’t overwhelming; he faced two hitters and gave up a double to Nolan Arenado (although to be fair Arenado hits doubles against all Giants pitchers). But his presence did provide a different look for a Giants bullpen that desperately needs one.
Romo followed Javier Lopez, and when Arenado doubled, Josh Osich took over from the left side. The matchups brought Derek Law into the game next, and Santiago Casilla struck out two in a perfect ninth.
