Conforto revealed a recent heart-to-heart conversation with Roberts about moving away from the search to amass season statistics, which showed a .193 batting average and a .633 OPS heading into play Sunday. His nine home runs and 27 RBIs will come nowhere near matching his 20 and 66 marks from last season with the San Francisco Giants.

The Padres must bounce back as they'll host the San Francisco Giants at home. San Diego are coming off sweeping the Giants this week, so they'll need to replicate what went right in that series to stay within striking distance of the Dodgers, who will face the last-place Colorado Rockies.

The Dodgers, leaning on contributions from those who had been struggling, including the bullpen, completed a three-game sweep of the rival Padres on Sunday to regain control of the NL West.
