Amid all the trade hoopla in Toronto, Josh Donaldson just keeps on doing his thing.

The Blue Jays third baseman outshone Johnny Cueto's debut for the Kansas City Royals on Friday as he delivered his third walk-off hit of the season, knocking home Troy Tulowitzki with the game's winning run. That tied Donaldson with Chicago Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro for the most walk-off hits in baseball.

"In that position, at 3-1 in the count, I looked for a pitch I could drive," Donaldson told reporters. "He (Franklin Morales) came in with a borderline high pitch, so at 3-2, I'm in a line-drive approach so I can drive in Tulo. That 3-2 pitch, he left it over the plate and I didn’t miss it, which turned out good."

The game-winning RBI pushed Donaldson's season total to 70, good for second in the American League behind the Royals' Kendrys Morales.

Donaldson was 3-for-5 in Friday's contest, with a double and four RBIs.
