White Sox pitcher Dylan Covey faces Yankees in second career start

White Sox right-hander Dylan Covey makes his second career start when the Sox and Yankees meet for the series finale Wednesday at Yankee Stadium.

Covey gave up one earned run on five hits with three walks and one strikeout in his first career start Friday against the Twins in Minnesota.

“He’s improving,” Sox manager Rick Renteria said. “We’re still in a position where we’d like him to command that first-pitch strike as often as he can. He was using the breaking ball the other day very well, very effectively. We’d like to have him command that fastball for a first-pitch strike also.
