Chris Davis broke an MLB record Monday night as his hitless streak extended to 0-for-49, though the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Oakland Athletics, 12-4. Davis broke a mark set by Eugenio Velez, who went a combined 0-for-46 with the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010-11.
After closing the 2018 campaign without a hit in his final 21 at-bats, Davis is 0-for-28 with 15 strikeouts this season. He made solid contact Monday, with three exit velocities of at least 91 mph.
A line drive in the fifth inning was caught at the warning track, and Davis went on to finish the night 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.
