May 22 (UPI) -- Cincinnati Reds second basemen Derek Dietrich took Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Zach Davies deep Wednesday with a no-doubt home run to center.

The blast, the 12th of the season for Dietrich, registered at 432 feet.

After a curve and a change up, both balls, Davies tried to throw a two-seam fastball past Dietrich, and he wasn't fooled.

When the pitch sailed right down the middle at 86 mph, Dietrich squared up and crushed it to give the Reds a 6-1 lead at the time.

It was the second hit of the day for Dietrich, who singled earlier in the game and later scored a run.
