Toronto Blue Jays centre-fielder Kevin Pillar was ejected from Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays after arguing with home plate umpire Chad Fairchild.

Pillar grounded out and appeared to have some words for Fairchild on his way back to the dugout.

Ezequiel Carrera took Pillar’s place in Toronto’s outfield.
