Josh Donaldson extended his hitting streak to 10 games Monday, but it was one of his outs that caught the most attention in the Yankees’ 1-0 win over the Rangers.

In the sixth inning of a scoreless game, Donaldson hit a grounder to shortstop, where Corey Seager bobbled the ball. But Donaldson had immediately put his head down as he left the batter’s box in a light jog, giving Seager plenty of time to corral the ball and throw to first for the out.

Aaron Boone said shortly after the win that he had not spoken to Donaldson or LeMahieu about the plays. “What I love about it is he’s grinding right now and getting on base a ton,” Boone said before the game. “Getting some big hits here and there. I think a sign of a great hitter, when you’re kind of grinding through it and you’re having this level of getting on base and mixing in your hits, when it clicks, he’s one of those guys who can carry you for stretches at a time.”

“Threw all of his pitches in his bullpen last time,” Boone said. “Everything’s going well, according to plan. Not sure when his first live action is. I’m sure it’s coming up soon.” Rangers manager Chris Woodward continued to walk back his comments.
