Khris Davis of the Oakland Athletics hit two home runs against Texas Sunday afternoon, giving him 40 for the season:
Davis is the first A’s player to hit 40 homers since Jason Giambi had 43 in 2000. Davis has 10 homers in 15 games against the Rangers.
Davis lined a solo shot to left field in the fourth to match Oakland’s single-season team record for homers against the Rangers (Reggie Jackson’s nine in 1974). Davis broke that mark when he went the opposite way in the eighth, a two-run shot to right off Keone Kela that also pushed his RBI total to 99.
“It’s pretty cool. I’m proud of myself,” Davis said. “At the same time, we’ve still got a couple more weeks. I don’t know why 45 is out of the question.”
The Orioles Chris Davis sits at 38 home runs so the two similarly named players may wind up each with 40+ on the season.
I guess they are the Eddie Yost and Eddie Joost of home runs!
