Final
Owings looks to continue Diamondbacks' momentum
May 2, 2008 - 2:12 PM NY Mets (14-12) at Arizona (20-8) 9:40 pm EDTPHOENIX (Ticker) - Micah Owings takes the hill for the Arizona Diamondbacks when they open up a three-game series with the New York Mets on Friday.
Arizona has won seven of its last 10 games and holds the best record in baseball, which includes an 11-3 mark at home.
Owings hit a pinch-hit two-run homer Wednesday, helping Arizona rally for an 8-7 victory over Houston. It was the pitcher's fifth career home run in just 79 at-bats.
But the tall righthander will look to rebound from a rough outing and extend his personal winning streak on the mound.
Owings (4-0, 3.48 ERA) gave up five runs in five innings and did not get a decision in Arizona's 8-7, 13-inning defeat to San Diego last Saturday. He had allowed a combined seven runs in his previous four starts - all wins.
New York is coming off a 13-1 setback to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, which snapped a three-game winning streak.
The Mets will look to rebound from their worst loss of the season when they send John Maine to the mound against Arizona.
Maine (2-2, 3.58) picked up the win in his last start, giving up two runs in five innings last Saturday. The righthander struck out a season-high seven.
The 26-year-old is 1-1 in two career starts against Arizona, posting a 2.25 ERA.
