Before the Orioles played their final game of a disappointing 2017 season, first baseman Chris Davis requested to speak with a small group of reporters.
Davis, who was hitless in three at-bats in their 6-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays before 16,018 at Tropicana Field, finished a most disappointing season.
He struck out 195 times in 128 games. In their last one, Davis’ team struck out 18 times, equaling a record for a nine-inning game.
