This was also Springer's 100th RBI with the Blue Jays as he continues to amount to an impressive big league career. Many Blue Jays fans took to Twitter to react to the incredible milestone.

One fan reacted to the milestone by saying that it was an impressive milestone to reach in a career.

The Blue Jays desperately needed to win a game against a potential playoff foe. The team had lost 8 out of their previous 10 games. Springer may have turned the season around for Toronto.

One fan was even at the game to witness the milestone. What an exciting moment!

Another fan that was in attendance:

What a clutch moment to be able to record your 1000th career hit!

This also came at a time when George Springer pinch-hit for outfielder Raimel Tapia, who started the game in centerfield. Springer was 0-for-10 in his career as a pinch-hitter before this base hit.

George Springer is simply extremely good at baseball. What a milestone for the veteran outfielder.

Overall, an incredible achievement for George Springer as he came in clutch to help win the game for the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays will now face off against the New York Yankees this weekend in the Bronx. A critical series that may decide the AL East winner.
