- Trending: The Padres lost their first series of the season against the Rockies, dropping the final two games in Colorado. The Marlins have lost three straight series to the Mets, the Twins and over the weekend at Arizona.
- Previous meeting: The Padres won five of seven last year, including three of four at Petco Park. This year’s series is a reunion of sorts as Padres bench coach Mark McGwire was first-year Marlins manager Don Mattingly’s hitting coach in Los Angeles from 2013-2015.
