D-backs starter helped his own cause in rookie season

PHOENIX — Micah Owings had his share of success on the mound in 2007, but his work with the bat received the most attention.


That’s what happens when a pitcher smacks two home runs in a game
during one start and ties a franchise record with three doubles in
another.

More of Steve Gilbert’s article.

Congrats, Micah! As several of your teammates have said, having you at the plate is like having a DH. It’s great knowing you don’t have to be taken out of a great mound outing in the 6th or 7th inning just because the D’Backs need a run.

Maybe you ought to give Byrnesie some hints. He’s never had a 6-RBI day.
