OAKLAND — The individual honor belonged to Trevor Plouffe on Friday night, and he had the keepsake to prove it.
The ball he hit for career homer No. 100 was safely in his possession following the A’s 3-1 victory over Seattle that extended their winning streak to four.
However, what the A’s are doing as a team in the power department is the big-picture takeaway, after a game in which Oakland mustered just six hits but had Plouffe and Yonder Alonso clear the fence to help provide Sean Manaea his first win of the season.
“I really don’t take a whole lot of stock in personal stats, especially during the year,” Plouffe said.
