Maybe the Miami Marlins won't miss Dee Gordon so much after all.

Derek Dietrich, the team's replacement at second base for the suspended Gordon, jumped on the first pitch of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, mashing a Chase Anderson fastball over the right center field wall.

Dietrich's solo shot comes a day after Marlins skipper Don Mattingly said Gordon would have probably kept a combined no-hitter alive following Dietrich's failure to snag Jonathan Lucroy's bloop single in the ninth inning.
