TORONTO -- Kevin Pillar's defensive heroics were on display again Monday night in Toronto as the Blue Jays' centre fielder extended to rob Jose Ramirez of extra bases with a highlight-reel diving catch in the top of the sixth inning.

Ramirez's 388-foot line drive left the bat at 101.5 mph, according to Statcast™, forcing Pillar back toward the wall in a full sprint. Pillar covered 64 feet in 4.6 seconds to make the play on a ball with a 57 percent hit probability off Ramirez's bat.
