Michael Conforto went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double, two RBI and a walk in the Cubs’ 8-3 takedown of the Reds on Thursday.

Getting the nod with Seiya Suzuki resting, Conforto had three of the Cubs’ seven hits in this one. He’s batting .361/.467/.667 in 45 plate appearances. There’s still not really any good way for the Cubs to squeeze him into the lineup regularly, but he probably deserves to play over Matt Shaw whenever a starting outfielder sits.
