Plouffe shortens swing, goes long

The long balls were Plouffe's 19th and 20th of the season, the second time in his career he has hit at least 20 -- the first coming in 2012. It was Plouffe's first multi-homer game since July 1, 2012, when he did so against the Royals.

But in doing so, Plouffe broke a streak of 70 at-bats and 20 games without a home run.
