Designated for assignment by Miami, Derek Dietrich has 17 home runs in 118 at-bats, a better pace than Barry Bonds' 2001 pace to get Bonds to 73. Dietrich has 7 home runs in 8 games against Pittsburgh alone. Elsewhere, only 5,786 showed up to watch the 2nd-place Tampa Bay Rays, lowest ever by that franchise.
