Pillar, Goins making a difference at bottom of lineup
Pillar's RBI single 0:52 6/17/15: Kevin Pillar singles to right field, driving in Chris Colabello to give the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 2nd inningThe Nos. 8 and 9 hitters went a combined 5-for-6 and reached base seven times in the Blue Jays' 8-0 victory at Rogers Centre, helping the team snap a two-game losing streak.
"That's huge for this team," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "[The bottom of the lineup] was kind of a black hole for us at times last year, but they just keep doing it. Pillar, Goins, they both feel like they belong now. They've been up and down in the past, and now they're here and they've been big, big contributors."
