Romano started throwing his slider over half the time this year and it seemed to work well for him. Romano does a good job of keeping his slider low and gets a lot of whiffs on the pitch. When batters do make contact, they tend to pound the ball into the ground (-8° launch angle). Couple those numbers with well above average velocity for a secondary pitch and the slider should continue to play well.
