Orioles' Chris Davis: Blast 12th homer of season in Tuesday victory

Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Tuesday's 9-1 victory over the Royals.

Analysis:

The veteran slugger is still scuffling considerably at the plate, but his power stroke hasn't abandoned him. The long ball Tuesday was Davis' second in the last five games, putting him one away from his rather paltry May total in that category. Despite the success, Davis continues to sport a forgettable .214 average, and has fanned 79 times over 206 at-bats.
