Belts first homer Conforto went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Nationals.
Impact The Mets were already down 5-0 when Conforto went yard off Joe Ross, in part because of his own shaky defense in right field. The 28-year-old needed 16 games to connect on his first homer of the year, but he seems to have shaken off his early-season slump, going 8-for-27 (.296) over his last eight games.

Drops in batting order Conforto will start in right field and bat sixth Monday against the Phillies.
Impact Manager Luis Rojas initially moved Conforto down from third to sixth in the order for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins, but the outfielder didn't get a chance to hit in the contest after it was suspended due to rain. The skipper won't deviate from Sunday's lineup, as Conforto will swap spots with Dominic Smith while looking to shake off some early-season rust. Over the Mets' first five contests, Conforto went 3-for-21 with eight strikeouts.
