Chris Owings hit the first pinch-hit home run of his career Sunday, and his first home run of the season, to break a seventh-inning tie and lead the visiting Colorado Rockies to a 3-1 victory over the San Diego Padres.
The victory came in Bud Black's 2,000th game as an MLB manager, and put the Rockies on top for a second consecutive game. They won a road series for the first time this season and are now 9-34 away from Denver.
Owings had an 0-1 count when he drove a curveball from Craig Stammen into the seats in right-center field.
