The Diamondbacks and Mets continue their series from Chase Field Tuesday night. Keep coming back for updates from the game.

Owings hitting cleanup

For the first time in his career, Chris Owings will hit cleanup Tuesday against the Mets.

It’s the eight different spot Owings has hit from this season. Owings, who has had the bulk of his look from the two hole or the seventh slot, also hit third for the first time since 2014 earlier this season. He went 2-for-4 and smacked his first career grand slam in a win over the Padres.

Owings is hitting .333 with three doubles, a triple, four homers and 14 RBIs in his past 20 games. He needs just one home run to tie his career-high (six in 2014).

“He’s having a very good year offensively and impacts the ball off left-handed pitching,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “So I just felt like this was the right guy to hit behind Goldy (Paul Goldschmidt) without having two change a lot of moving parts.”
