Khris Davis Plays Hero

Khris Davis turned what looked to be a night to forget into a night to remember in arguably the Brewers best win of the season Monday night. The 12-inning battle with the Cardinals turned in the Brewers favor when Davis knocked in Jonathan Lucroy by fighting off a two-strike pitch down the right field line for his first career triple. Nights like Khris Davis had are why baseball is the greatest game on earth. After collecting four strikeouts and leaving the bases loaded in the 6th and 7th inning it was not surprising that the spotlight found him again in the 12th. Anyone who has played baseball knows that when you're not going well at the plate everything seems to go against you. Cardinal pitching just kept pounding the strike zone against Davis and he almost looked in disbelief that he kept swinging through pitches, which is why it is no surprise Davis quickly fell to 0-2 against Seth Maness in his final at-bat. After choking up an inch and just looking to get the bat on the ball, Davis fouled one off, took a ball, then slapped the fifth pitch down the line in right field. The fact that Davis was able to put together the at-bat that he did in that situation would make you think he's been in the league ten years. The baseball gods gave Davis one last shot at redemption last night, and he made the most of it.
