Goes deep twice in win Conforto went 3-for-6 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 15-11 extra-innings win over the Reds.

Impact 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.

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.

Smacks third homer Conforto went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact The outfielder staked the Mets to a 5-0 lead with his first-inning blast. Conforto's multi-hit effort was his first since June 23, and he's just 7-for-50 (.140) since he returned from a hamstring injury on that day. Overall, the 28-year-old has a poor .202/.345/.301 slash line with three homers, 19 RBI and 16runs scored through 200 plate appearances. He's still seen the bulk of the playing time in right field over Kevin Pillar and Billy McKinney lately.
