Davis entered Thursday's win over the Tigers as a pinch hitter in the fourth inning and remained in the game as the designated hitter, going 2-for-3 with an RBI ground-rule double.
Davis earned his call to the big-league club by tearing the cover off the ball at Triple-A Las Vegas, and at least for his first game back in an Athletics uniform, he wielded just as productive a bat. The veteran slugger may only see intermittent opportunities as the regular season winds down, but if he's anywhere near as locked in as he appeared during his recent minor-league stint, he could certainly make an impact.
