ST. LOUIS (AP) — Derek Dietrich is keeping it simple and getting results.
Batting second in Miami’s lineup, Dietrich homered and had four hits to lead the Marlins past the St. Louis Cardinals 11-3 on Wednesday night.
Lewis Brinson launched two solo homers for Miami, the second multihomer game of his career.
Dietrich drove in three runs during his fourth multihit game on the Marlins’ nine-game road trip. Miami won its second straight, after snapping a six-game losing streak Tuesday.
“It sounds simple enough, but not getting away from my approach,” Dietrich said. “I’m ready to take my best swing every time I swing the bat.
