Nice article on Josh Donaldson.
“Ever since he’s been here, you could feel his presence,” said Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor, who added two home runs of his own including a solo shot in a rainy, four-run ninth. “He was the MVP of the league, you know? He’s been mashing for us now. I was doing cage work today, just listening to him talk about his approach and about life really. It’s cool to be around him.”
“The ‘Bringer Of Rain,’ that’s how you describe it,” Brewers starter Adrian Houser said, referring to Donaldson’s nickname. “And it rained on us tonight.”
The numbers are rather jarring. Of Donaldson’s 22 hits this season, 12 are home runs. With the Brewers, he has homered twice in his first nine games with the Brewers -- both times for the lead on the way to a victory.
