SAN FRANCISCO — He’s striking out far too often for a guy signed to be a middle-of-the-order hitter for a Giants team that badly needs one, but when he does make contact, Michael Conforto has been worth every penny.
In the biggest moment of his young Giants career, Conforto blasted a two-run homer to break a tie in the eighth inning and lead the Giants to a 3-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon at Oracle Park.
“I kept it simple,” Conforto said. “I wanted to hit the ball hard, swing at strikes and I’ll try to keep that approach going forward. It felt amazing.”
