Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar apologized publicly to Atlanta Braves pitcher Jason Motte on Wednesday after yelling at him due to a perceived quick pitch.
According to Mark Townsend of Yahoo Sports, Pillar appeared to yell a gay slur at Motte after he struck him out in the seventh inning.
Per MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm, Pillar was remorseful with regard to the incident:
"Yeah, I mean, obviously that was the initial thing I was upset about but I think it just stems from a little frustration in myself and just the way this series has been going.
