Grant Balfour notched his 15th save in the victory. Chris Sale gave up Donaldson's blast while tossing seven-and-a-third innings and striking out six to fall to 5-and-4. Tyler Flowers hit a solo homer while Dayan Viciedo and Alejando De Aza each lifted sacrifice flies in defeat. Chicago has lost two straight and 10 of its last 11.
