Plouffe went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees.
Plouffe's 414-shot in the sixth closed out the scoring for the Rays on the night and was his first homer since June 21. It's been a forgettable campaign for the veteran between his stints with the Athletics and Rays, with all three elements of his .202/.272/.325 line representing his worst marks since his initial big-league cup of coffee with the Twins in 2010.
