  LOS ANGELES – For Andy Pages, it was all about location, location, location.
  Sixteen games into the season, he was hitting just .137. Batting at the bottom of the Dodgers’ lineup – 15 of his 25 starts this season have been as the No. 9 hitter – he didn’t know who he was supposed to be. He had made it to the big leagues as an aggressive power hitter but batting ninth he was also a setup man, charged with turning the lineup over and giving opportunities to Shohei Ohta

  Conforto was not in the lineup against Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter on Sunday afternoon. The left fielder started the season 5 for 17 (.294) with four doubles. Over the
