With two on and two out, Davis took an 0-1 fastball from the Boston closer out a projected 426 feet out to dead center. According to Statcast, the ball left his bat at 111 mph.

Baltimore swept the Twins at home to begin the season, and took two games from the Rays sandwiched around a postponement.
