The New York Mets, riding a seven-game winning streak, are set to face the San Diego Padres in their next encounter at Petco Park. This game marks the beginning of a three-match series, where the Mets aim to extend their successful run against the Padres. After losing their first two games following the All-Star break, the Mets have come back strong, securing a sweep against the San Francisco Giants. With the season’s stakes high, Mets’ pitcher Frankie Montas (3-1, 4.62 ERA) will take the mound, looking to capitalize on his recent performance where he struck out six in his last game.
On the opposing side, Dylan Cease (3-10, 4.59) has had a rough time against the Mets historically, going 0-3 in his previous matchups. Despite this, he’s been known to rack up strikeouts, reaching double digits recently.
