Derek Dietrich collects two hits batting third

Marlins second baseman Derek Dietrich was back in the third spot of the batting order Wednesday after going 2 for 4 Tuesday, and he managed to pick up another two hits in five at-bats, maintaining a .400 batting average through his first five games.

Dietrich has at least one hit in each game and two hits in each of his last three.

Dietrich, who struck out in his other three trips to the plate Wednesday, is making a case to remain in the team's lineup long-term.
