Donaldson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks Saturday against Cleveland.

Donaldson took Cal Quantrill yard in the seventh inning to record his second home run of the season. He also continued to show good discipline at the plate, and he's now earned a free pass in four of his last five games. On the surface, Donaldson is striking out at a concerning 30 percent clip through 60 plate appearances, but he has been punched out only once across his last 12 plate appearances.
