Chris Davis is now hitless in his last 47 at-bats going back to last season, which broke Eugenio Velez's record 0-for-46 hitless stretch set back in 2011.
set the major league record for the longest hitless streak by a position player, going 0 for 47 during an unproductive run that began last year.
Velez went hitless in 46 straight at-bats, his last nine of the 2010 season and then 0 for 37 in 2011, the last of his five major league seasons. That enabled him to eclipse the previous longest hitless streak, shared by Pittsburgh’s Bill Bergen , Dave Campbell of San Diego and St. Louis and Milwaukee’s Craig Counsell .
On Monday, he lined out to right field in the second inning against Marco Estrada and matched the record hitless streak in the third with an opposite-field fly to left. Before the record-tying out, Davis got a second chance when second baseman Jurickson Profar dropped his foul pop to right.
