As you’ve likely heard by now, Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles broke #ForeverGiant Eugenio Velez’s hitless streak last night. To set the record, Davis hit a low liner the other way that looked like it might fall in, but it went right to Robbie Grossman.
Velez’s record stood at 0-for-46, a streak he maintained between two seasons on the Giants and Dodgers. Davis’s record now stands at 0-for-49, and he could extend it tonight against the A’s.
For Davis to break this record, there needed to be a perfect storm of events.
