It’s been a tough season for Khris Davis. He got off to a hot start in April but then dealt with a couple of injuries early on, and he never really got back on track. The slump has lasted months now, and it’s cost him a chance at a fourth straight year of 40 homers. He’d have to bat over .400 the rest of the way just to reach his normal .247 average.
But wait! Khrush has shown signs of life at the plate over the last week. Last Sunday against the Tigers he knocked a two-run double off the top of the Coliseum’s tall wall for the eventual-game-winning runs.
