CINCINNATI, June 17 (UPI) -- Micah Owings won for the first time in seven starts Wednesday, helping himself with a three-run homer in the fifth in Cincinnati's 4-3 victory over Atlanta.
The Reds trailed 2-1 going into the fifth, but Javier Vazquez walked Jerry Hairston to open the inning and Ryan Hanigan singled Hairston to third.
That brought up the Cincinnati pitcher, who hit an 0-1 pitch over the wall in right for his second home run of the season and the seventh of his three-year major league career.
Owings (4-7) gave up two runs on six hits in six innings. Francisco Cordero worked around a one-out walk in the ninth to earn his 16th save.
Vazquez (4-6) went the distance, giving up just four hits and striking out seven.
Jay Bruce produced the other Cincinnati run on a second-inning homer.
Atlanta is 1-4 on its nine-game road trip and has lost nine of its last 12 road contests.
