20 Josh Donaldson, 3B

Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson hit his sixth home run of the season Friday in a win over the Royals.

Donaldson hit a solo blast in the seventh inning off James Shields to score the first run of the game for the A's.

He finished 2 for 3 and is batting .323 on the year. Donaldson has hit in six straight games with three doubles, two homers and two RBI over that span.

Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson went 4 for 5 in Tuesday's loss to Texas.

Donaldson doubled twice and scored a run but somehow managed to avoid even a single RBI. Donaldson is now hitting .315 after he had just a .241 mark last year. His strikeout rate has also been slashed from 20.7 percent to 15.5 percent, which suggests there's a chance some of this improvement could stick for the rest of the season.

Athletics third basemen Josh Donaldson was able to shake off an ankle injury Saturday night against the Mariners. Donaldson appeared to twist his ankle while trying to stretch a double into a single in the ninth inning.

However, he remained in the game and told reporters afterwards that he is fine.

Donaldson finished 2 for 4 with a home run and one RBI in the 4-3 win. He is hitting .265 (9 for 34) with two home runs and five RBI over the last 10 games.
