Streaking Giants host Diamondbacks

Apr 15, 2008 - 1:08 PM Arizona (9-4) at San Francisco (6-8) 4:35 pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - Suddenly, its the San Francisco Giants - not the Arizona Diamondbacks - who are on a winning streak.

The Giants go for their fifth straight win on Tuesday when they continue a three-game series against the Diamondbacks.

Bengie Molina's sacrifice fly in the seventh inning broke a tie as the Giants picked up their fourth straight win with a 5-4 victory over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

The loss was Arizona's second straight after they had an eight-game winning streak stopped on Sunday during a dismal 13-5 setback to the Colorado Rockies.

Micah Owings (2-0, 2.63 ERA) will try to get the Diamondbacks back on track when he takes the mound on Tuesday.

The righthanded Owings has been stellar this season, allowing three runs and seven hits while walking only one and striking out four in seven innings en route to a 4-3 victory against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.

Kevin Correia (1-1, 2.63) counters for the Giants after pitching 7 2/3 scoreless innings on Thursday.

Despite experiencing cramps in his pitching arm, the 27-year-old righthander allowed just five hits and struck out four while walking two, leading San Francisco to a 5-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
