Plouffe's 100th career homer lifts A's over M's

OAKLAND -- Trevor Plouffe is healthy again, and his bat appears to be back at full strength, too.

The veteran third baseman, inked by the A's to a one-year deal this offseason, collected his 100th career home run in Oakland's 3-1 victory over the Mariners on Friday night. It also happened to be the fourth in his last seven games, a game-tying solo shot off Hisashi Iwakuma in the fifth.
