Owings takes on Peralta's nickname in big way
Chris Owings rockets a double into the right-center-field gap, scoring Paul Goldschmidt and cutting the D-backs' deficit to 2-1 in the 1stPHOENIX -- David Peralta has taken to a nickname bestowed upon him a few years ago from D-backs television voice Steve Berthiaume --- The Freight Train.
The nickname was a result of how hard Peralta runs the bases, and there have been T-shirts made with the phrase.
When shortstop Chris Owings began getting playing time in right field on Peralta's off-days, Peralta took to calling him "The Little Freight Train."
