Conforto’s overall numbers are still not easy on the eyes. His .171 batting average is easily the worst among qualified big-league hitters. His negative-0.7 mark in wins above replacement (an all-encompassing stat not helped by his limited defensive range in left field) entering the day ranked 158th out of 161 such players.

Michael Conforto hit a three-run homer, Shohei Ohtani added a two-run blast and the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers held off the last-place Colorado Rockies 9-7.
