Josh Donaldson went nearly two months between games, but he came back looking like he was making up for lost time.
while playing his first game since April 5 because of a strained hamstring.
It marked the 37-year-old Donaldson’s first multi-home run in a Yankees uniform, offering hope that his bat can provide much more of an impact than it did last season.Donaldson’s first home run came in his first at-bat against Clayton Kershaw, crushing a slider 446 feet to left-center field for a solo shot.
Then, in the ninth inning against reliever Phil Bickford, Donaldson added a two-run homer to the same spot that traveled 418 feet. Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton, who also homered in his first game back from the IL because of a strained hamstring, provided all of the offense for the Yankees on Friday night.
Josh Donaldson belts a homer off Clayton Kershaw, the first of his two dingers, in the second inning of the Yankees’ 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.“Every at-bat Giancarlo had was good,” manager Aaron Boone said. “He was on time all night, all the way to that last [at-bat] where he works the walk. Obviously JD really getting into a couple balls and hit a ball pretty well to third, too. Good to see those guys come in and just be on time and obviously really impact the ball.
