Hail to the MVP: Donaldson fuels rally

DENVER -- Josh Donaldson's nickname is the The Bringer of Rain, but on Tuesday night at Coors Field, he might as well have been called The Bringer of Hail.

Toronto's game against Colorado was delayed by two hours and 41 minutes because of inclement weather that included a hailstorm. When play finally got under way, at 9:21 p.m. local time, Donaldson played a key role in the Blue Jays' 14-9 victory over the Rockies.

The Blue Jays trailed, 4-1, entering the fourth inning -- until a six-run frame changed everything. Donaldson's three-run double off the wall in right field was one of the major reasons why, as he capped another impressive night at the plate.
