Diamondbacks look to hold on to slim division lead

Sep 18, 2007 - 2:41 PM San Francisco (67-83) at Arizona (84-67) 9:40 pm EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- With their division lead slowly evaporating, the Arizona Diamondbacks look to hold on to their slim advantage when they host the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks, who held a five-game advantage in the National League West exactly one month ago, dropped an 8-5 decision in Monday's series opener.

The loss cut Arizona's lead to one game over the second-place San Diego Padres (82-67) in the National League West Division.

Diamondbacks rookie Micah Owings (6-8, 4.78 ERA) will get his first start in 10 days after getting roughed up in his last two outings.

On September 8 against St. Louis, he left after just 2 2/3 innings, surrendering seven runs - two earned - and four hits. The righthander has faced the Giants only one other time, yielding seven runs and eight hits over four innings in a 13-0 loss on July 1.

Owings will be opposed by Jonathan Sanchez (1-4, 5.29), who will be looking for his first win in five tries as a starter this season. The lefthander, who has not won since April 18, is 0-2 with a 4.09 ERA in four lifetime appearances - including two starts against Arizona.
