VIDEO: Pillar makes spectacular diving play to rob Hamilton

Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar made a number of highlight-reel catches this season, but none may be as important as the leaping grab he made in Game 5 of the ALCS on Wednesday.

Trailing 2-1 entering the fourth inning of the elimination game, Pillar sprinted and laid out to rob Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton a hit.

Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman responded by retiring the next two batters to end the inning.
