BALTIMORE -- Back on Sept. 2 at Fenway Park, Henry Owens didn't enjoy the feeling of losing to the Yankees -- a performance in which he lasted just 1 2/3 innings. That start was a wakeup call for Owens, one in which he learned what a tiny margin for error there is in the Major Leagues.
Exactly two weeks later, Owens took the mound at Camden Yards and reeled off the finest start of his young career.
Over 7 2/3 shutout innings in Boston's 10-1 win over the Orioles, Owens scattered six hits and notched four strikeouts.
