The Reds sent outfielder Adam Dunn to the Dbacks in exchange for starting pitcher Micah Owings.
I can’t remember that time the media has focused more on a pitcher’s hitting stats rather than his pitching. Perhaps it’s because Owings comes with a 6-9 record and a 5.93 ERA.
Owings has a .288 average for the year and a career .313 average with 5 homers with 18 rbis.
As it looks, Owings won’t be doing much pitching (or hitting) for the Reds down the homestretch anyway.
Update: Maybe the Reds shoulda waited a couple days. Dbacks skip used Micah Owings as a pinch hitter against the Reds in the 10th inning Saturday and Owings responded with a rbi double.
