Springer went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Royals.
The veteran slugger accounted for all of Toronto's offense in a 13-2 rout when he took Noah Cameron deep in the sixth inning. It was Springer's 13th long ball of the season but his first in August, snapping a 25-game drought in which he'd produced a .260/.318/.325 slash line with three doubles, a triple, eight RBI and 10 runs.
