The Athletics offense struggled for much of Wednesday's game against the Tigers, but third baseman Josh Donaldson did enough with one swing to earn a 3-1 win.
Donaldson was the only player for the Athletics to have two hits, and it was his second that provided the big blow. He clubbed a three-run home run off Joe Nathan to win the game in the ninth inning, finishing 2 for 4 with one run scored and three RBI.
Donaldson is now hitting .277/.370/.529, with 13 RBI and 41 RBI in 52 games. He ranks fifth in the American League in home runs and sixth in RBI.
