Even Chris Davis and his 0.00 career ERA were not safe against the barrage of home runs the Minnesota Twins unleashed at Camden Yards on Saturday.
In the ninth inning of the Orioles’ 16-7 loss in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, Davis, usually a first baseman by trade, made his second career pitching appearance and first since two scoreless innings at Fenway Park in 2012. After Jake Cave ended a nine-pitch at-bat with a groundout, former Oriole Jonathan Schoop, in his return to Camden Yards, brought an end to Davis’ place atop the all-time ERA leaderboard (minimum one batter retired) with a first-pitch home run.
