Orioles first baseman Chris Davis hit his 35th homer of the season in Wednesday’s 8-5 win over the Royals, but Davis’ tremendous run-production numbers -- he is second in the majors in homers and second in the American League with 91 RBIs -- have been accompanied by some big strikeout numbers.
Davis leads the majors with 165 strikeouts and is on pace for 212 on the season, and while Orioles manager Buck Showalter admitted Thursday he wishes that total was lower, it comes with the territory.
“Don’t think that Chris is [not caring],” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
