The Mets came into San Diego on a seven game win streak. Frankie Montas was getting the start for the Mets, and he was facing off against Dylan Cease for the Padres. The Mets were looking to extend their lead in first in the National League East, while the Padres were in the thick of the Wild Card race.
Dylan Cease struck out the side in the top of the first, and while Montas gave up an one-out single to Luis Arráez in the bottom of the inning, the baserunner was erased with an inning ending double play.
