Don't count on Davis to repeat that accomplishment Thursday versus Alfredo Aceves. | Insight: Davis is a .167 lifetime hitter against Aceves with four strikeouts in 12 at bats. With that said, it's understandable if you aren't willing to bench Davis on Thursday. Let's face it, he's been tremendous this season (.393 AVG, league-best 18 RBI). | | |
