When his third-inning drive in the Tigers' 7-3 win over the Indians on Tuesday night carried into the seats at Progressive Field, somewhat to his surprise, he had his fourth Major League home run in his 214th big league game. His dad, Kevin Romine, hit five out in 331 games with the Red Sox.
Add in Austin Romine's one big league homer, and the Romine kids have dad matched.
"Forget that," Andrew joked. "I want the record by myself."
The way Romine is hitting lately, he could get it soon.
Romine has started four straight games -- the first three at third base in place of Nick Castellanos, then Tuesday with an off-day for shortstop Jose Iglesias.
