Any pent-up frustration between Toronto Blue Jays slugger Josh Donaldson and manager John Gibbons - stemming from an altercation in the dugout two weeks ago - seems to have disappeared.
The Aug 17 incident followed a Donaldson strikeout, leading to a heated war of words between the two.
On Sunday, Donaldson was spotted in the Blue Jays dugout playfully pretending to punch and twist his skipper's arm. The third basemen also put together one heck of a day at the plate, including three home runs.
Donaldson's big performance helped Toronto sweep the Minnesota Twins, pushing the Blue Jays' lead over the Boston Red Sox to two games in the AL East.
