<h3>Diamondbacks aim to get back on track against Reds</h3>

Arizona (47-39) at Cincinnati (32-52) 7:10 pm EDT

CINCINNATI (Ticker) -- Micah Owings gets the start as the ArizonaDiamondbacks hope to avoid a three-game losing streak when theyface the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of a three-game serieson Friday.

Owings (5-3, 4.42 ERA) gave up seven runs and eight hits withthree walks in just four innings in a 13-0 loss to the SanFrancisco Giants on Sunday.

The Diamondbacks are struggling recently, losing five of theirlast six contests and eight of their last 11.

Arizona has gone from leading the National League West by onegame to falling to third in the division over that span, 2 1/2games behind the San Diego Padres.

As much as the Diamondbacks have had trouble with wins recently,the Reds have struggled all season, posting the major league'sworst record.

Kyle Lohse (4-10, 4.77) will look to help Cincinnati turn itaround. The 28-year-old righthander snapped a three-game losingstreak in his previous start, pitching seven strong innings ina 5-1 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday.

The Reds are currently on pace to lose 100 games this season,which would be the most for the franchise since 1982.
