Covey allowed two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and a walk across five innings during a no-decision against the Nationals on Wednesday.
When he departed, the Nationals led 2-1, a lead they subsequently increased to three runs. However, the White Sox offense came back to tie the game, getting Covey off the hook. This is the first time all season Covey strung together consecutive serviceable starts, as he allowed a modest three runs over 11 frames in those two outings. Covey is 1-4 with a 4.58 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 22 strikeouts across 37.1 innings this season. He will get another crack at the Nationals at home Tuesday.
