Davis appeared in 25 Major League games with the Baltimore Orioles during the 2011 campaign. He collected 15 hits in 59 at-bats (.254 batting average) with six RBI, six runs scored and three doubles. His first Major League hit was a two-run triple off of then-Cincinnati Reds pitcher Edinson Volquez, and his first home run was a three-run blast against then-Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer.
The 31-year-old has played nine seasons of professional baseball, spending time with the Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates organizations.
