BALTIMORE, April 8 -- Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles claimed Major League Baseball most unwanted record as the home team took on the Oakland Athletics here at Camden Yards on Monday night.

Davis broke the record previously set by Eugenio Velez, who moved between two teams in the 2010-2011 seasons, after which his career in the Majors came to an end.

Davis is now 0 for 47 at bat since late last year. His other stats paint an even more dire picture. Davis has not had a run, a hit, or an RBI since September of last year. His last home run was a month before that, in August. He has not boasted a batting average above .186 since October, 2017.

Compounding fans' frustration at Camden Yards is the fact that Davis is in the midst of a 161 million U.S. dollar guaranteed seven-year contract with the Orioles. In previous games, fans had taken to booing Davis, but clapped for him tonight as a gesture of support.

Ironically, the swing that sealed Davis's place in the history books was one of his better attempts, and his first time making contact with the ball on three straight at-bats since March 31.

In a small consolation for home fans, the Orioles went on to trounce the Athletics 12-4, snapping a four-game losing streak. Game two in their series is set for tomorrow.
