Orioles first baseman Chris Davis — faced with a second-inning at-bat Thursday in which he would either get his first hit of the season or break the major league record of 58 consecutive hitless plate appearances — lined out to the warning track in center field on his hardest-hit ball of the season.
Even the well-hit out means Davis continues searching for his first hit since Sept. 14 against the Chicago White Sox. He had 21 at-bats and 24 plate appearances without a hit to end 2018, and has started 2019 with 35 plate appearances and 31 official at-bats without a hit.
