"Owings went 4-for-5, including a pair of mammoth homers, drove in six runs and scored four times while pitching three-hit ball through seven innings as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Atlanta Braves 12-6 on Saturday night."

"He hit a two-run double in Arizona's four-run second inning, a solo 415-foot homer to left in the fourth, a two-run 446-foot drive to center in a three-run sixth and a broken-bat RBI single to center in a four-run seventh. He lined out in the eighth."

Yeah watching those highlights were unreal. First time since 1942 a pitcher had 11 total bases. That is whack and he pitched well too only giving up 3 hits even though they were homers.

Serious question, in the AL, can a starting pitcher also be the DH?

I was pissed in some baseball video game when I made a pitcher a bad ass hitter also and couldn't make him my DH.

^No, but a team doesn't have to use the DH if it doesn't want to. It can send the pitcher up to bat for himself.
