He got burned by a few fly balls falling in LF which was being patrolled by some kid named Alou. He faced the minimum in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th after giving up 3 in the 1st, before giving up one in the 5th. All three runs in the first were driven in on two flyball doubles to Alou.

They have guys who were great last year, solid last year, and some guys who are repeating the same level. No real bright spot at all. and Owen is getting lit up so far today..
