Donaldson’s dramatics help Blue Jays come from behind

Josh Donaldson provided his share of magic moments with the Oakland A’s in the past.

On Saturday, he marked his first with the Blue Jays.

Leading off the 10th inning, Donaldson slammed a 1-0 pitch from Sugar Ray Marimon into the Jays bullpen in left to power his team to a 6-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves, the first come-from-behind win for the Jays this season.

After six innings and trailing 4-0, it looked like it would be a long, crummy afternoon for R.A. Dickey and the Blue Jays.

The deadly duo of walks and home runs had Dickey and his mates in a 4-0 hole while at the plate the Jays had killed any momentum by grounding into four double plays.
