Conforto starts in left for Mets
Michael Conforto is back in the Mets' lineup, after coming off the bench in Games 3 and 4 against left-handed starters. The Mets' Game 5 lineup is identical to the one they used against Dodgers starter Zack Greinke in Game 2, save for Wilmer Flores at shortstop in place of the injured Ruben Tejada.
That lineup scored just two runs in Game 2, a 5-2 Dodgers win, on solo homers by Conforto and Yoenis Cespedes. Cespedes moves from left field to center.
