Chris Davis made history on Monday night. It just was. It just was not the type of history Davis desired to make.<\/p>\n

With a new record low of just 6,585 fans at Camden Yards, Davis replaces Eugenia Velez as the definition of futility at the place for non-pitchers.<\/p>\n

Velez began his stream with nine at-bats for the Giants in 2010 before adding another 37 at-bats without a hit in 2011 with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Davis began the night with a line out to A’s right fielder Stephen Piscotty. In his second at-bat he would line out to left to Robbie Grossman. He would line out to the track with Grossman making the catch to set the new record.<\/p>\n

Davis was not done. He would add a strike out to go 0-for-48.<\/p>\n

It has been a hard fall for Davis after leading the majors with 53 homers in 2013 and again in 2015 with 47. Davis signed a seven-year deal worth $161 million after 2015 and ended 2018 with a record low .168 average for qualified batters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
