At a glance

The White Sox move on to Cleveland after dropping 2 of 3 weekend games at Detroit. Covey earned his first major-league win in his last start, at home vs. the Orioles Wednesday. The right-hander allowed 1 run in 7 innings and used his fastball to pile up 8 strikeouts. Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson has missed five straight games with back spasms. Davidson leads the White Sox with 11 home runs, 10 of which have come on the road. In his last 5 games, infielder/designated hitter Jose Rondon is 5-for-18 with 3 homers and 6 RBI. The Indians lead the AL Central but they've been hovering around the .500 mark for most of the season. The Sox and Cleveland meet for the first time this season. The Indians have won 12 of the last 16.
