Davis was dropped to seventh in the order Tuesday, where he went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Blue Jays. Davis also struck out twice. Therein lies the problem. Davis is on pace for 189 strikeouts in 136 games and 480 at-bats this season. Without a trip to the disabled list he might have challenged the single-season record of 223 strikeouts owned by Mark Reynolds. The Orioles seem to have lost confidence in Davis, even sitting him against a left-hander recently.
