Giants outfielder Michael Conforto shares secret behind his dominant outing vs. Pirates following All-Star break

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto disclosed the key to his dominant performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates after the All-Star break.

Conforto spent an amazing time with his wife before the Pirates' game and that helped him revive. After the week, Conforto helped the Giants clinch a victory.

"That was a little stressful, but it was good to be off my feet, check in at home, hang out with my wife [and] just get your mind off of baseball a little bit," Conforto told NBC Sports.

With a sacrifice fly, Joc Pederson gave the Giants a one-run lead. Michael Conforto then provided some insurance. The outfielder's two-run double effectively ended Pittsburgh's chances of winning and gave San Francisco the 8-4 victory and three-game sweep to open the second half of the season.

Conforto had a great series overall, going 5-for-12 with five RBIs and another big hit in the Giants' victory on Saturday. This was the team's fifth straight victory.
