The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a tough loss, 5-3, against the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking their first meeting of the season. Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled on shorter rest, allowing five runs, including a grand slam. Though trailing by five, the Dodgers rallied but fell short, with Michael Confortoâs struggles highlighted through a hitless night and a crucial double play. Manager Dave Roberts remains hopeful about Confortoâs chances as he makes swing adjustments, even as he continues to struggle with a poor batting average this season.
I'm definitely frustrated. Happy with a couple hard-hit balls today. Frustrated to be in position to keep a rally going and not being able to beat that ball out. It's frustrating. It makes me sick.
Conforto is 1-for-his-last-40 dating back to April 25. He is hitting just .135/.278/.225 with four doubles, two home runs and six RBI in 35 games this season.
Manager Dave Roberts is optimistic that Conforto will soon get back on track, noting adjustments he made to his swing with Dodgers hitting coaches.
Although the changes haven't yet translated to success at the plate, the team has to be encouraged that Conforto is hitting the ball harder with more consistency.
