He struck out looking in the second and struck out swinging in the fourth against left-hander Tommy Thorpe. He grounded out, 3-1, against James Norwood in the sixth and doubled to right field against Pedro Araujo in the eighth.

Steve Laurino replaced Davis, who's been on the disabled list retroactive to June 13 with a strained right oblique.

Five plate appearances, four pitchers and one left-hander.

Davis had two hits, including a home run, in his last 19 at-bats before going on the disabled list. He flied out in a June 12 games in Chicago and was removed due to the injury.
