OAKLAND — When we last saw Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis, he was laboring to first base after straining a hamstring at the tail end of a glorious 10-day eastern road swing.
The A’s beat Toronto 9-2 and came home with seven wins in 10 games against the New York Yankees, Boston and Blue Jays.
Davis went on the disabled list, and it’s an exaggeration — but not by much — to say the lights went out on an offense that hit 19 home runs during the 10-game road trip.
When the A’s close out a 10-game homestand Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays, Davis is expected back in the A’s lineup.
