Former Blue Jay Kevin Pillar drives in a run as San Francisco wins at Rogers Centre
Joe Panik homered and drove in three runs, Kevin Pillar had an RBI in his return to Rogers Centre, and the San Francisco Giants held off a late comeback attempt to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-6 in the opener of a two-game MLB Interleague series.
Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Belt and Evan Longoria also hit home runs as San Francisco (10-14) build a 7-2 lead.
But Rowdy Tellez hit an eighth-inning grand slam for the Blue Jays (11-13) to make it a one-run game.
Eric Sogard extended his hit streak to six games with a solo homer and Socrates Brito had an RBI triple in Toronto's first loss in five games.
Tuesday marked Pillar's first MLB game in Toronto since the centre-fielder was traded to the Giants on April 2, and fans gave Pillar a standing ovation.
