Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Walker Buehler hadn't allowed a home run since June 24 until Conforto stepped to the dish and took the Dodgers' ace deep Saturday night. While he is still mired in his worst season as a pro, the Mets' right fielder is now on a five-game hit streak.

Conforto went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He didn't get the start with southpaw Ranger Suarez on the mound for Philadelphia, but Suarez got the hook after only 2.2 innings. Conforto then replaced Brandon Drury in right field and took Mauricio Llovera deep in the ninth inning. It was his first homer since July 19 and only his seventh of the year, but Conforto has shown signs of emerging from his slump, going 5-for-18 over the last six games with two doubles and four walks.

Conforto went 3-for-6 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 15-11 extra-innings win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
He took Vladimir Gutierrez deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning, then capped the scoring on the night by going back-to-back with Kevin Pillar in the 11th. Conforto only has six homers on the year but four of them have come in the last five games, a stretch during which he's gone 8-for-21 (.381) while adding two doubles and eight RBI. The 28-year-old appears poised to erase the memories of his disappointing first half.

Conforto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-6 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets trailed for much of the game, but Conforto's ninth-inning blast completed their comeback. The outfielder has homered twice in his last four games, and he has four long balls on the year. He's added a paltry .207/.347/.328 slash line with 21 RBI, 17 runs scored and nine doubles through 213 plate appearances.
