The Toronto Blue Jays handed the Texas Rangers a 5-4 loss in 11 innings at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Josh Donaldson, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in extra base hits with 23, was the star on offense. He slugged 2 home runs. The winner was Duane Ward in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Akinori Otsuka took the loss. Toronto is now 27-17.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Shannon Stewart to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Donaldson told reporters after the game: "Close wins always feel extra good."
