Would the Pirates hit Derek Dietrich after he homered against them on Monday night? No. But Derek Dietrich certainly hit the Pirates, homering three times in his best MAXIMUM DEREK impression.
The Offense
It was the Derek Dietrich show on Tuesday night. He homered in the 4th inning – a 2-run shot. The next inning he homered again – another 2-run shot. In the 7th inning he came up again with a runner on and smashed a 2-run homer. He wouldn’t get a 5th at-bat of the game to take a shot at 4 homers in the game.
