Micah Owings can pitch. Tuesday night in Miami, the 2nd year right-hander went 7 innings, giving up 3 runs and striking out 10. But it wasn’t enough, as the Snakes were bitten by former teammates in a 3-2 loss. Mr. Diamondback Luis Gonzalez, now with the Marlins, singled in a run in the 4th inning, and Dan Uggla, a former D-Back farmhand homered in the 6th.
