Josh Donaldson had this to say about his performance!

It was nice for my first game here, to be able to help the team win," Donaldson said. "I feel like we showed some resiliency today. We got down early on; a couple of big homers. We just kept at it, kept trying to grind down at-bats, and our bullpen kept us in the ballgame."
