Coming into tonight, Micah Owing’s stats for the 2007 season seemed about average. He had a 5-6 record, with a 4.78 ERA. However one tool he posses that was not taken into account was his bat. Coming into tonight, he had eight hits this season, even with a dinger and 5 RBI’s. But against the Atlanta Braves tonight Owings hit two home runs, four hits, and six RBI’s. This is the second consecutive ground breaking night for Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers. Last night Brandon Webb threw his third consecutive shutout.

Owings, a starting pitcher in last year’s Triple A All Star Game, didn’t do so badly on the mound as well. He would throw 7 innings, yielding just 3 hits and not giving up a walk, but striking out 7. The Diamondbacks would win 12-6. Offensive support for Owings also came from Stephen Drew who homered in the 7th innings, and Orlando Hudson who knocked in 2 RBI’s.
