Run for Covey! Redlegs scald Sox, 7-4
After three straight flagging starts and two without a convenient injury to pin problems on, we can conclude that 2017 Dylan Covey is trying his damndest to shove the glory that had been 2018 Dylan Covey straight off the roster.
Covey started Wednesday’s game gangbusters, retiring the first nine Cincinnati Reds. But then came the fourth, when the righthander walked Scott Schebler and then suffered a death of a thousand paper cuts — five singles, a plunked batter and a suicide squeeze by pitcher Sal Romano.
For the low, low price of just two outs, the Reds had taken a 6-2 lead, providing well more offense than they would need in a 7-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.
