Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Homers in loss to Angels
Donaldson went 1-for-5 with a solo homer in Thursday's game against the Angels.
Analysis:
Donaldson's fifth-inning blast was his 29th of the season, and his first since Aug. 13. Despite hitting safely in 16 of 20 games this month, the third baseman has actually seen his batting average drop a bit since the beginning of August. In addition, Donaldson's K:BB ratio in August is his worst month since May. On the bright side, the reigning AL MVP is riding a small four-game hitting streak in which he's amassed five RBI and scored three runs.
