Friday was Opening Night for the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Just like their major league big brothers, the Paw Sox had been delayed a day by inclement weather, but when they finally took the field they would go on to defeat the Buffalo Bisons 2-0.
Henry Owens looked sharp. The lefty allowed no runs and only walked two, needing just 83 pitches to complete six innings. He struck out eight while giving up one solitary hit. This is great news for Red Sox fans who may be, legitimately, worried about their starting rotation.
