BALTIMORE — Kyle Davies was elated late Sunday afternoon when he arrived at Yankee Stadium. It had been four years since Davies, 31, had pitched in the major leagues, but getting called up made all the long bus rides and fast-food meals he endured in the minor leagues worth it. Davies then pitched two and a third shutout innings in the Yankees’ 14-4 win over the Boston Red Sox.
The next afternoon, as his teammates arrived at Camden Yards, Davies stood in the lobby of the ballpark with his blue Yankees equipment bag at his feet, waiting for a ride to his next destination.
