The Los Angeles Dodgers experienced an uneven stretch after sweeping the Padres, splitting a series with the Rockies, and briefly losing the NL West lead. The offense shifted emphasis toward grinding at-bats, controlling the zone, and waiting for pitches to drive. Michael Conforto recorded two hits and a walk over two recent victories while attempting to rebound from a .187 batting average, a career-worst. The lineup produced a dominant 7-0 win over the Reds with strong at-bats throughout the order. Manager Dave Roberts praised the performance as one of the better complete offensive games in months. The Dodgers retook sole possession of first place following the win.
The past few days have been great,
I think just a little switch in mentality. Less about slugging the ball, more about grinding at-bats and being ready to hit. When you get your pitch, finish the at-bat, and just controlling the zone a little bit. Like I said, the past two days have been better, and we're looking to keep that rolling, for sure.
I thought the offensive at-bats, one through nine, were great,
It's probably one of the better games, complete games that we've played in months, for me.
