Before tempers flared at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar made another ridiculous grab in the outfield to rob Adam Jones of a base hit - his second sensational catch in the last week - before doubling off Chris Davis at second base.

Filling in for injured outfielder Michael Saunders, Pillar has thoroughly endeared himself to the Blue Jays with his stunning work in the outfield thus far. The 25-year-old is tied for third among outfielders with four defensive runs saved in 2015, and teammate Mark Buehrle suggested last week that the league ought to "give him the Gold Glove right now."
