TORONTO — A brief recap of the Braves’ 6-5 loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday at Rogers Centre.

How the game was won: Josh Donaldson led off the 10th inning with a walk-off homer against Braves reliever Sugar Ray Marimon on the second pitch of his second major league appearance. Jose Bautista's two-run homer off Braves reliever Jim Johnson in the eighth completed a late-innings rally that turned a four-run deficit into a 5-4 lead for the Blue Jays, but Kelly Johnson tied it in the ninth with the Braves' third homer of the game and fifth in two days.

Number: 5. Inning-ending double plays turned by the Braves on Saturday, raising their majors-leading total to 19. Braves starter Alex Wood induced four inning-double plays in the first five innings.

Next: The Braves and Blue Jays complete their three-game series with a 1:07 p.m. start on Sunday, when Atlanta right-hander Shelby Miller faces Toronto lefty Daniel Norris. The Braves are off Monday in New York before a three-game series against the Mets.
