Micah Owings won his fourth game of the season yesterday, against no losses. He matched teammate Brandon Webb for the NL lead in wins with the victory. He had the Giants offense off balance all day, allowing just two runs in the 4-2 win.
Owings was backed by three solo homers. Eric Byrnes, Mark Reynolds, and Orlando Hudson all went deep in the game. Byrnes and Hudson each hit their third of the season, Reynolds hit his sixth. Owings held his own at the plate, going 2-3 and scoring a run. Justin Upton hit two doubles in the ballgame, keeping up his good start to the season with a .384 batting average.
Fred Lewis, Aaron Rowand and Jose Castillo all had two hits for the Giants, but only one other player managed to put a hit in the box score. Lewis hit his first homer of the season.
Kevin Correia had a decent outing, allowing just three runs in 6.0 innings on 8 hits. He received little in the area of support though, and took the loss dropping him to 1-3.
Brandon Webb will try to improve to 5-0 tonight against Barry Zito who is 0-4.
