Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe had a much-needed homer in Monday's win over the Indians.
Plouffe went deep for the 11th time this season in the second inning for all the runs the Twins would need in the game. He hit a two-run shot.
The corner infielder finished 2 for 3 with a walk in the nice performance. He's now batting .237 for the year.
The 27-year-old had recorded just one hit in his previous 16 at-bats.
