Also, we discuss Weird Baseball Things that have happened lately.Follow UpChris Davis ends futility streak, turning mock cheers into Red Sox painDavis ended his record slump at 0 for 54 and drew applause from rival fans at Fenway Park, lining a single and two doubles while driving in four runs as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 9-5 Saturday to stop a four-game losing streak.“That’s a long time without getting a hit,” he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, but obviously something special.”Davis broke into a smile when his bases-loaded, two-run single in the first inning broke the drought.“It meant a lot to me,” he said.He tried to make the most of his terrible stretch.“I said it a couple of weeks ago: ‘You have to embrace it at some point,'” he said.Davis walked to the plate in the first to what mostly appeared to be mock cheers when he was announced. But many of those quickly changed when he hit a liner over the head of second baseman Dustin Pedroia, ending the longest hitless streak ever by a position player.Weird Baseball ThingsJ.A.
