George Springer has already outdone himself this season for the Toronto Blue Jays. He hit 19 home runs in 2024. But now in 2025, he's already up to 20 with a lot of season left to play. Springer homered Tuesday night to reach that 20-homer plateau, and it's an exceptional accomplishment in his career.

Springer was hit by a pitch in the top of the first inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates, perhaps as restitution for the two teams' bench-clearing incident on Monday. Instead of escalating the situation, Springer simply waited a couple of innings, then launched a home run off pitcher Mitch Keller his next time up.
