Donaldson's homer in 10th lifts Blue Jays over Braves 6-5

TORONTO — After waiting 11 games for his first home run with Toronto, Josh Donaldson is quickly making up for lost time.

Donaldson went deep for the third time in two days, belting a leadoff shot in the 10th inning that lifted the Blue Jays to a 6-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

It was the fourth game-ending homer of Donaldson's career.

"As a baseball player, as any competitor, you enjoy moments where you can win the game for your team," he said.

Donaldson's drive into the second deck in left was his third hit of the afternoon.
