Plouffe went 2-for-4 with a double and solo home run in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Angels.
The veteran slugger's bat may finally be awakening, with Monday's outing marking his second straight two-hit effort. Despite just a .250 average over the last five games, Plouffe is boasting an impressive 41.2 percent hard contact rate over that span. However, the fact that he's still striking out at a 29.5 percent clip is helping keep his OBP at an unsightly .277.
