After a mini-losing streak of just two games, the Diamondbacks got back to winning ways with a 8-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Chris Young led the way with a two run homer and a double, while Micah Owings shut down the Giants bats.
Young had two across the board, in runs, hits, and RBI’s. Owings threw 6.0 solid innings, allowing just one run on three hits. He also only allowed two free passes and struck out six. Conor Jackson had his second consecutive strong game, knocking in three runs on two hits. Eric Byrnes also had two hits.
Kevin Correia was roughed up in the start for the Giants. He allowed five runs, all earned, in 6.0 innings. He allowed two homers, while dropping to 1-2 on the season. Brad Hennessey had no better luck in a relief stint, allowing another two runs in 2.0 innings.
Owings improved to 3-0, matching Brandon Webb’s record. Mark Reynolds, the MLB leader in RBI’s, had the day off. The Diamondbacks now sit at 10-4, and will look to win the series tomorrow.
