  • Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam to stake the Mets to a 5–1 lead in Game 1, but San Diego rallied for five runs in the fifth inning and never relinquished control.

  • New York will hand the ball to Clay Holmes (9-5, 3.40 ERA) against San Diego starter Yu Darvish (0-3, 9.18 ERA) as the Padres aim to complete the sweep.
