Yankees thump Owens for 7 runs at Fenway

It wasn't a good day for Henry Owens.

The Boston Red Sox left-hander was hammered by the New York Yankees on his home turf, allowing seven earned runs on six hits and walking two while allowing two home runs in a 13-8 loss.

After the Red Sox notched a first-inning run against Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka, the Yankees responded with an eight-run second inning against Owens, who surrendered back-to-back home runs to Greg Bird and John Ryan Murphy.

Bird hit a two-run homer, with Murphy launching his solo shot over the Green Monster.

"I think they jumped on (Owens) pretty quickly," Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters. "You got a lot of big hits. Stephen Drew had a huge day for us today. He's been really hot, swinging the bat extremely well. Didi (Gregorius) gets on and they just kind of rolled. They put up a big number and we were able to make it stick."

YANKEES VS. OWENS: 2ND INNING

The outing was the worst of Owens' young career, although he did allow seven earned runs and ten hits over six innings against the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 16.
