White Sox can`t hold early lead as Covey exits
(MLB.com Chicago White Sox)

Dylan Covey really wanted Saturday afternoon`s start against the A`s at Guaranteed Rate Field. The White Sox right-hander spent four Minor League seasons with Oakland, from 2013-16, after being selected by the A`s in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB Draft. Daniel Mengden, Covey`s teammate and good friend in the Oakland system, happened to be on the mound for the A`s. Neither starter factored into Oakland`s 7-6 victory. Both starters actually left the game with injuries, as Mengden departed after two innings with a right foot sprain and Covey was removed in the fifth with what he described as right groin soreness.
