Chris Davis drove in five runs in the Orioles’ 9-7 win over the Red Sox on Monday afternoon, including a game-winning three-run homer with two outs in the top of the ninth. And because Davis played such a big role in putting runs on the board in Boston’s home opener, it’s probably easy to forget about the base runners he took away defensively.
Davis made both of the Orioles’ double-play balls happen, scooping one and stretching for another, and he also made a pair of sensational plays at first that helped keep the Red Sox at bay.
