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. The Dodgers have now played 42 games. Taylor has only played in 26 and started in six.
The super utilityman played a role in eight Dodgers postseasons, bursting onto the scene in the 2017 NL pennant-winning run.
