Loewen fans five in five innings

Adam Loewen allowed four hits, walked two and fanned five over five scoreless innings Wednesday, lowering his Spring Training ERA to 1.38. Loewen’s biggest problem last year was command, though he’s made some strides in that department with five walks allowed over 13 innings this spring. The soon-to-be 24-year-old will likely experience more growing pains this year, but it will be tough to ignore his potential in AL-only formats.
