CINCINNATI — If Kevin Pillar looked like a natural climbing the center field wall in Cincinnati on Saturday night, it’s because he is one.
The Giants outfielder scaled an eight-foot fence to rob Reds rookie Nick Senzel of his first major league home run, impressing his teammates and everyone in attendance at Great American Ball Park with how easily he moved himself into position to make the play.
Sports Info Solutions said Pillar’s Saturday robbery was the third of his career, and considering the degree of difficulty, it may have been his best. After propelling his body high above the wall, Pillar eventually needed to reach back toward the field to snag Senzel’s fly ball.
