Rookie Michael Conforto will play left field in Game 2 of the National League Division Series at Dodger Stadium. For the Mets, it’s hardly a gamble at all. Conforto made his major league debut in July and went 4-for-4 in his second career game. The Dodgers ought to remember that one: They were on the losing end of that 15-2 decision.
Michael Cuddyer, who got the start in left field in Game 1, misplayed a pair of fly balls off his glove that resulted in doubles for Justin Turner and Corey Seager.
Here is the Mets’ full lineup against Dodgers starter Zack Greinke:
Curtis Granderson RF
David Wright 3B
Daniel Murphy 2B
Yoenis Cespedes CF
Lucas Duda 1B
Travis d’Arnaud C
Michael Conforto LF
Ruben Tejada SS
Noah Syndergaard P
