It’s bad enough when you lose on your home field to a team that lost 115 games last season. It’s humiliating when the damage was done by arguably the worst hitter in baseball. That’s exactly what the Boston Red Sox allowed to happen when they were beaten by Chris Davis.
The beleaguered Baltimore Orioles first baseman was in the midst of a historic slump until Boston’s pitching staff gave him a desperately needed confidence boost. Davis snapped an unfathomable 0-for-54 streak dating back to last season with a bases loaded single that drove in two in the top of the first inning.
