Donaldson, Braves power past Padres

Josh Donaldson drove in four runs on two home runs and left-hander Dallas Keuchel held the Padres to one run on six hits over seven innings as the visiting Atlanta Braves opened the second half of the season with a 5-3 victory over the Padres at Petco Park.

Donaldson's first homer followed an 11-minute, first-inning delay after plate umpire Dana DeMuth was forced from the game after being struck on the left forearm by a foul ball off the bat of Atlanta's Freddie Freeman.

DeMuth, who was replaced behind the plate by Angel Hernandez, looked to be in considerable pain when he left the field.
