Kevin Pillar said something bad to Jason Motte Wednesday night:
Major League Baseball is investigating Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar regarding his comments made toward an Atlanta Braves pitcher during Wednesday’s game, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Buster Olney.
Pillar struck out swinging to end the seventh inning and claimed he was quick-pitched by Jason Motte, yelling toward the mound before Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki stepped in to calm things as the benches cleared.
The Blue Jays outfielder apologized for his reaction after the game but did not indicate what he said on the field.
On the surface there doesn’t appear to be a racial difference between Motte and Pillar. No one ever seems to get in trouble for using obscenities, so maybe it was some sexual orientation slur?
