Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe enjoyed his first big game Sunday since coming off the disabled list on June 30.
His first multi-hit game since June 8 was not enough to give his team a comeback victory over the Yankees, but it did sweeten his stat line to .245/.319/.410. Plouffe came within a triple of a cycle with a two-run homer in the eighth, as well as RBI double and single.
