Donaldson singled home Troy Tulowitzki in the 11th inning, and the new-look http://www.authenticthunderstore.com/authentic-0-russell-westbrook-jersey.html Blue Jays rallied to beat Kansas City 7-6 on Friday night and hand Johnny Cueto a no-decision in his Royals debut.
After acquiring Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins from Colorado and Price from Detroit, the Blue Jays obtained right-hander Mark Lowe from Seattle and outfielder Ben Revere from Philadelphia ahead of Friday's trade deadline.
''This organization definitely put their best foot forward at the trade deadline, and you've got to love seeing that,'' Price said in a postgame press conference.
Tulowitzki played a key role in the win. He singled with one out in the 11th and advanced on a balk by Franklin Morales (3-1).
Donaldson followed with a single to left-center, giving Toronto its third straight win and sending the AL champion Royals to their third consecutive loss.
''He left me a pitch over the middle of the plate, what I was kind of waiting for the entire time,'' Donaldson said. ''I didn't miss it.''
Donaldson, mobbed at first base after his winning hit, went 3 for 4 with a walk and four RBIs. Liam Hendriks (3-0) pitched one inning for the win.
Price was delayed by a flat tire on his way to Toronto, scuttling plans for an afternoon press conference. The left-hander said he was on Interstate 94 near Chesterfield, Michigan, when his right rear tire blew.
''I got the extra tire put on and the guy was like 'Where are you headed?''' Price said. ''I was like 'I'm going to Toronto,' and he was like 'You can't make it there on this tire.' I went to Discount Tires, they didn't have a tire to fit my back tire and then I just had to sit in a Target parking lot and wait for the tow truck to come and wait for my ride to arrive.''
Donaldson hit a two-run double in the third, and Toronto tied it in the fourth on Kevin Pillar's RBI single.
Kansas City went ahead 5-3 in the fifth. Hutchison left after Cain's leadoff Deron Williams Elite Jersey single and Aaron Loup came on to face Eric Hosmer, who hit a slow grounder to third. Donaldson's errant throw to first went down the right-field line, allowing Cain to score and advancing Hosmer to third. He scored on Morales' sacrifice fly off Bo Schultz.
Donaldson batted .268 with 63 home runs and 228 RBIs in 405 games with the A's and was one of the most positives presences in the clubhouse.
''He was instrumental in the success here,'' A's manager Bob Melvin said. ''He came a long way from where he started in this organization. He was basically a catcher in the minor leagues and ends up being an All-Star third baseman.''
Donaldson's departure has been arguably the most questionable one Beane made over the summer. He also traded Brandon Moss, Derek Norris and Jeff Samardzija and lost Jon Lester and Jed Lowrie in free agency.
Donaldson has had no trouble adjusting to his new surroundings.
Entering Tuesday's game, Donaldson was leading the Blue Jays with 22 homers. He had a .288 batting average, .351 on-base percentage and 62 RBIs, which was behind only Jose Bautista (63) for the team lead.
The 29-year-old Donaldson received more than 14 million votes for the All-Star Game - a major league record - to earn the start at third base for the AL. He also competed in the Home Run Derby.
While http://www.officialgrizzliesstore.com/authentic-33-marc-gasol-jersey.html he's excited about the Blue Jays' potential now, Donaldson still cherishes his time in Oakland. He even saved a couple A's jerseys, including an All-Star jersey, and hung them in his ''man cave'' at home.
