Owings Goes Yard, Keys Comeback
Babes Love Baseball — ... his first pinch-hit bomb. There's no doubt Owings is the best pitching hitter in the game these days, but his numbers on the hill aren't so bad, either: 4-0 with a 3.48 ERA in 2008. Meanwhile, the 20-8 D'Backs became baseball's first 20-game winner, by racking up a franchise-best 19 April victories and winning eight of their last nine series. The lone loss? A split four-gamer against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Not bad at all. [Sports Network] | [Tirico Suave] | [Bleacher Report]

Owings is rolling right now. However, as good of a pitcher that he is, Owings is just as a good of a hitter, if not maybe even relatively better.
