Angels' Kevin Pillar: Continues to boost team's offense
Pillar went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.
Pillar knocked in three of Los Angeles' five runs in the defeat, drilling a two-run homer in the third inning and adding an RBI single in the eighth. The veteran went just 1-for-6 through his first three games after joining the club April 30, but he's been on a heater of late, recording three multi-hit performances across his past five games. Over that span, he's batting ..474 (9-for-19) with three home runs, 12 RBI, six runs and a stolen base.

Braves' Kevin Pillar: Remains on bench
Pillar will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Orioles.
Pillar spent part of April as a near-everyday player, but he's better suited for a fourth outfielder role at this stage of his career. His .262/.292/.410 slash line in 19 games isn't bad and comes with a two homers and two steals, but he's now on the bench for the fourth time in six games.
