Dietrich went 1-for-2 with a walk and two-run home run Thursday against the Athletics.
Dietrich took Chris Bassitt deep in the first inning to record his 10th home run of the season. The veteran's .430 career slugging percentage suggests he won't be able to keep hitting across the remainder of the season, but his performance hasn't slowed of late: He now has five home runs across his last six starts. The Reds infield has recently gotten even more crowded with the callup of Josh VanMeter, but as long as he continues to perform, Dietrich will receive opportunities to get his bat into the lineup somewhat regularly.
