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.
