Here are the best five plays from the fourth week of action:

5. Pillar continues to dazzle in the outfield 

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar capped off a Gold Glove-caliber April with an eyes-closed catch against the wall at Progressive Field. 

4. Calhoun lays out to make incredible diving play

It's not every day that Mike Trout comes away impressed, but that's exactly what happened when Los Angeles Angels teammate Kole Calhoun came charging in to make a ridiculous diving grab. 

3. Arenado turns two with heads-up play

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado continues to amaze at the hot corner. With one out and a runner on third, Arenado fielded a ground ball, reached down and tagged the runner before throwing across the diamond to also record the out at first. 

2. Betts keeps dazzling in center

Boston Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts tracked back to make a leaping catch at the warning track before crashing into the wall to rob Toronto Blue Jays rookie Devon Travis of a hit. 

1. A-Rod ties Willie Mays

Alex Rodriguez came off the bench Friday at Fenway Park to hit a solo home run, tying him with Willie Mays for fourth on the all-time list with 660.
