Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings put together one of the best performances of his career Thursday, in a 12-7 win over the Rockies.
Owings homered for the second time in the three game series in Colorado, driving in two runs with his eighth-inning shot to left. He added a couple more RBI, on a fourth-inning double and then a sacrifice fly in the sixth, finishing with four RBI while going 3 for 5 overall.
Owings has three games with at least three hits in his last seven games, and has raised his batting average nearly 30 points in that time. He is now hitting .285/.323/.462 in 186 at-bats.
