Orioles' Chris Davis Ties Record for Longest Hitless Streak in Major League History

History has never looked so ugly.

With his flyout in the third inning Monday, Orioles' first baseman Chris Davis has gone without a hit in 46 consecutive at-bats, which is tied for the longest hitless streak for a position player in MLB history.

Davis entered play Monday two hitless at-bats shy of the unfortunate feat held by former Dodgers infielder Eugenio Vélez, who ended his big-league career on an 0-for-46 funk dating from June 20, 2010 to Sept. 28, 2011. Davis had a second chance to end the streak when Jurickson Profar dropped a popup in foul territory the pitch before his flyout.
