Josh Donaldson has the first three-homer game of his career to lead the Blue Jays to a 9 – 6 win over Minnesota. His second shot, off Pat Light in the 7th, puts Toronto ahead to stay, while after his third, off Alex Wimmers in the 8th, fans at Rogers Centre deluge the field with hats, hockey-style. The Jays maintain a hold on first place in the AL East with the win, but for the Twins, it’s a tenth straight loss.
