Manager Dave Roberts continued to give Michael Conforto his chances at the plate. The former Giant was pegged to do what he’s done his entire career: hit with power. Instead, he’s struck out 41 times and hits a whopping .153, comfortably bottom of the barrel in the Dodgers lineup. For Chris Taylor, starts are few and far between.
