As good as he's been, however, Davis may see fewer pitches to hit down the stretch, especially from his No. 5 spot in the batting order, with usual No. 6 hitter, Matt Wieters, not having his best season. With 60 games to go, he's 24 homers shy of Maris and 36 short of Barry Bonds. Joining their company in the 60- and 70-home run clubs is something even Davis can't make look easy.
