| (MySportsbook) - Right-hander Micah Owings makes his pitching debut in a Cincinnati uniform tonight, when the Reds visit Miller Park in the third and final matchup of a three-game early-week series with the Milwaukee Brewers. Owings, a 6-foot-5, 220-pounder from Tulane University, was acquired by the Reds at last year's trading deadline as the player to be named later in a deal that sent slugging outfielder Adam Dunn to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The now 26-year-old was shut down for the season after the trade |

He threw 85 pitches overall, walking three and striking out two. Now in his second full-time season, Parra actually re |

Chicago capitalized on four bases-loaded walks in the fourth inning, something Philadelphia did in a comeback win over Atlanta last Wednesday.

Lincecum, who won the NL Cy Young Award after going 18-5 with a major-league- leading 265 strikeouts last season, had control problems in his initial start on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. He lasted just three innings and allowed three runs and four hits, while walking three with five strikeouts in his team's 10-6 win. The 24-year-old fireballer has enjoyed a modicum of success in his young career against the Padres, posting a 3-1 ma |

| (MySportsbook) - Carlos Zambrano returns to Miller Park for the first time since tossing a no-hitter there, as the Chicago Cubs play the middle test of their three-game set with the Milwaukee Brewers. Zambrano, though, did not toss the no-no against the Brewers, he did so against the Houston Astros, who were playing in Milwaukee after being displaced by Hurricane Ike. The 27-year-old right-hander got his 2009 campaign off on the right foot on Monday in Houston, as he held the Astros to just a run and five hit |
