New York Mets

The New York Mets had their seven-game win streak come to an end in a walk-off loss in the opening game of their recent set. Despite the loss, the Mets still hold a 1.5-game lead over the Phillies in the NL East with a record of 62-45. In their previous game against San Diego, the Mets had a total of six hits, with players like Francisco Lindor and Mark Vientos contributing with runs and RBIs. Pitcher Frankie Montas had a mixed performance, allowing five runs in 4.1 innings. In the upcoming game, Clay Holmes will be starting for the Mets, with a record of 9-5 and a 3.40 ERA this season. Holmes recently earned a win in his last start against the Giants, and will be making his ninth career appearance, and first start, against the Padres in the upcoming contest.

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres won their third straight game in dramatic fashion on Monday night, improving their record to 58-49 and moving into second place in the NL West, four games behind the Dodgers. They currently hold the final wild card spot in the NL playoff race, two games ahead of the Reds. In their series opener against New York, the Padres had a strong offensive showing with 14 hits, led by Xander Bogaerts with three. Luis Arraez hit his sixth home run of the season, and Elias Diaz provided a walk-off RBI single for the win. Despite a shaky outing from Dylan Cease, the Padres managed to come out on top. Yu Darvish will be starting for the Padres in their upcoming game, looking to improve on his 0-3 record and 9.18 ERA this season. Darvish has had success against the Mets in the past, with a 5-1 record and a 3.23 ERA in 10 career starts against them. He will be looking to bounce back from his recent struggles and help the Padres continue their winning streak.

San Diego Padres Struggle as New York Mets Gain Advantage in Season Matchup

The San Diego team secured a win in the season opener, but they face a more challenging contest in the current situation. Despite making his season debut on July 7, Darvish has struggled in his four starts, failing to pitch more than five innings and performing poorly against the Cardinals in his last outing. The Padres' offense has been inconsistent, and their upcoming trades are uncertain. On the other hand, New York had a strong performance before losing the opener, and Holmes bounced back with a win against San Francisco after a rough patch. Given Darvish's struggles this season, the Mets have the advantage on this getaway day matchup.
