PAWTUCKET, R.I. — Pawtucket starter Henry Owens dazzled in his Triple-A debut, tossing 6.2 scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and combined with two relievers on a four-hit shutout as the PawSox blanked the Columbus Clippers 5-0 Monday night at McCoy Stadium.

Owens (1-0) held Columbus without a hit through the first 5.1 innings before Francisco Lindor’s infield single. The 22-year-old worked well with catcher Blake Swihart, another 22-year-old super-prospect who was also making his PawSox debut after being promoted from Double-A Portland earlier in the day.

Bryce Brentz, playing in only his second game back after a 2 ½-month stint on the disabled list, homered and went 3-for-4 to pace the PawSox’ 12-hit attack. After the game was scoreless through three innings, Pawtucket struck for five runs over the next four innings against Clippers starter Tyler Cloyd.

RBI hits from Garin Cecchini (single) and Deven Marrero (double) highlighted the PawSox’s two-run, four-hit rally against Cloyd in the fourth to go in front 2-0. Travis Shaw’s double-play groundout in the fifth increased the margin to 3-0, then Brentz (7) and Derrik Gibson (2) hit leadoff solo homers in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.

Owens allowed two hits and three walks in his 6.2 innings of work and earned his professional baseball-leading 15th victory of the season. John Ely (1.1 innings, one hit) and Drake Britton (1.0 innings, one hit) finished the shutout for Pawtucket.
