Baltimore\'s Chris Davis ended an MLB-record 0-for-54 skid with his first hit of the season Saturday, dropping in a two-run single in the first inning off Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello.

Davis clapped his hands and called for the ball after reaching base to end the longest hitless streak by a non-pitcher in major league history. It began last season on Sept 15, 2018.

Congrats to Chris Davis for finally finding his stroke. He has been nothing short of a true professional during this dubious streak.

To be booed before you step into the batters box, and cheered when you’re benched, he still maintained a level of respect to both the fans and the game.

I hope he finds continued success now that the proverbial monkey is off his back.

He was once one of the more feared power hitters in the league. Watching him bat I didn't see him doing anything wrong other than getting bad results.

He undoubtedly has declined since his contract extension. Perhaps it is too much pressure living up to the big $? Hopefully he can find some success moving forward.
