Pillar gets timely RBI, makes diving catch; Jays beat Yanks

Kevin Pillar singled home the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and made a highlight-reel diving catch in center field to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 4-1 on Tuesday night for New York's fifth loss in seven games.

Justin Smoak homered and Darwin Barney hit a two-run single as the Blue Jays won for the 12th time in 16 meetings with the Yankees.

Joe Biagini (3-1) worked one inning for the win, Toronto's sixth victory in seven games.

Jesse Chavez pitched the eighth and Roberto Osuna finished for his 12th save.

With the score tied 1-all, Edwin Encarnacion doubled to begin the seventh, chasing CC Sabathia (3-4) after 80 pitches and bringing Dellin Betances out of the bullpen. Pillar later singled in Encarnacion with a grounder to the right side.

Pillar ended the fourth with a diving grab on Austin Romine's liner to right-center.
