Chris Davis woke up with a positive attitude Thursday. He was back home among his loved ones and hoping that being back in front of the home crowd on Opening Day at Oriole Park would be some kind of elixir for what has ailed him at the plate for the past couple of years.
Things started out all right. He jogged down the orange carpet during pregame introductions to a mixture of boos and cheers that was about the best he could have hoped for after going hitless and striking out eight times on the Orioles’ successful season-opening trip to New York and Toronto.
