At U.S. Cellular Field, Owens will feel the normal pressure of being an opposing pitcher against the home crowd, he will tighten his focus against the team with the most wins thus far in the American League, and he will try to overcome all of that while trying to give his own career some direction.
Owens has posted a 0-0 record with a 4.82 ERA in his first two starts this season. His first appearance was a seemingly nervous one, as he only lasted 3.1 innings before allowing three earned runs on five hits, including a home run, four walks, and four strikeouts against the Houston Astros.
