Michael Conforto Sitting Versus Lefty
5 months agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Conforto did start Friday's series opener against another lefty in Tyler Anderson and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout but will hit the bench to begin Saturday afternoon's contest. It's been a solid season for the veteran who is hitting .242 with eight homers and a .724 OPS across 47 games and is actually hitting .311 with an .852 OPS against left-handed pitching. Austin Slater will spell Conforto in left field and will hit out of the leadoff spot for a second consecutive game on Saturday.
