Wade Davis’ career isn't supposed to end like this

Thursday was Wade Davis’ first game back following a 48-day stint on the injured list. He allowed a home run to his first batter.

Friday was Davis’ second game back: he allowed four earned runs in two-thirds of an inning.

His career isn’t supposed to end like this.

In 2014, Davis helped the Royals to the American League pennant. He allowed a single earned run over the entire postseason; with an ERA of 1.00 over 72 regular season innings, Davis established himself as one of the world’s top relievers.

Davis won the 2015 World Series with those same Royals, throwing the final pitch of the season.
