Josh Donaldson hit his 14th and 15th homers as the A's topped the Angels 9-5 on Friday. Both homers tonight came off a pretty weak lefty in Wade LeBlanc, but it's not like Donaldson hasn't taken plenty of quality starters and relievers deep this year, too. He's 11-for-23 with five homers in his last six games, raising his average from .267 to .283 during the span. Tonight's game also pushed his OPS back over .900 for the first time since late April.

Josh Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.

Josh Donaldson launched a two-run homer in Monday's 5-4 win over the White Sox. He finished 1-for-3 with a walk. Donaldson's fifth inning round-tripper off John Danks broke a 1-1 tie. It was the first time he's deposited a ball in the seats since April 25.

Of course, he smashed seven homers in his first 23 games.

A monster game for Donaldson, who broke out as one of baseball's best-hitting third basemen last season.
