TORONTO — If the lengthy first-inning video tribute of his Toronto Blue Jays highlights didn’t convince the home fans of Kevin Pillar’s value, he wasted no time in adding a reminder. “It starts to weigh on you a little bit when you haven’t hit a home run.”Rowdy Tellez hit his first career grand slam for the Blue Jays, whose four-game winning streak was snapped. Jeff Samardzija (2-1) allowed two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings, improving to 3-0 in four starts against the Blue Jays. We don’t quit,” Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. Blue Jays: RHP Clay Buchholtz (0-0, 3.38) will aim for his first win as a Blue Jay.
