CHICAGO (AP) — Dylan Covey’s first major league win was both impressive and worth the wait.
Covey tossed seven strong innings, Yoan Moncada and Adam Engel each hit three-run homers and the Chicago White Sox pounded the Baltimore Orioles 11-1 on Wednesday night.
Covey (1-1) allowed one run on six hits and struck out eight in his 20th game and 14th start — and longest outing — in the majors.
“It took a while to get it,” Covey said. “It’s just been a process for me.
“I learned a lot in Triple-A this year. I think I just became more comfortable with myself on the mound.
