Donaldson singled in the fourth, walked in the seventh and scored four times. He had the 17th multihomer game of his career.

The Indians acquired Donaldson from Toronto late last season in hopes he could regain his power stroke for the playoffs. The 2015 AL MVP hit three home runs in September, but managed one single in 11 at-bats in the Division Series when Cleveland was swept by Houston.
