Oakland Athletics third baseman Josh Donaldson started an incredible double play with a throw from the seat of his pants during the eighth inning of Friday's game against Toronto.
With one out and a man on first, Donaldson quickly moved to his left and slid to the ground to field the grounder from Blue Jays batter Edwin Encarnacion, then made the accurate throw to second to start the 5-4-3 double play.
Donaldson's play helped keep the Blue Jays off the board, and the A's won the game 1-0 in 12 innings.
