Orioles first baseman Chris Davis dug himself such a deep hole offensively this season that even when he starts to climb out of it, there’s still little progress to show for it statistically. So, he must take little victories out of each at-bat and hope that, eventually, he can string together some momentum to end this season on a high note.
The prolific power swing is still there, as Davis showed on his game-winning solo home run Tuesday night against the New York Mets at Camden Yards. Seemingly effortlessly, Davis sent a changeup from Bobby Wahl deep into the center-field stands an estimated 424 feet, fueling the Orioles’ offense in a 6-3 interleague win over the Mets.
