Rookie Davis doesn’t know many players on the New York Yankees, despite the fact that he was drafted and developed by them until he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds. He was never invited to big-league spring training with New York, and shared a minor-league clubhouse with only two players on their active roster.
That’s not much fodder for revenge against his old organization, and Davis didn’t approach his Monday start with that mindset. It’s just as well, because he certainly didn’t get it, giving up five runs in 4 1/3 innings in a 10-4 loss at Great American Ball Park.
