The Mets are set to open a June 6 matchup against the Padres with Nolan McLean on the mound, a same-day game that starts at 10:10 PM ET and gives New York a quick chance to steady itself before the night gets away.
That timing is what makes the game matter now. Fans looking for Padres coverage will find a clear pitching matchup: McLean for the Mets and Griffin Canning for San Diego, with the game scheduled for SNY and on Audacy Mets Radio WHSQ 880AM, the Audacy App and 92.3 HD2.
The listing comes with a little more edge because the Mets are trying to avoid another sweep in a getaway game. That turns a routine regular-season date into something sharper, with the pressure resting less on the calendar than on how New York handles the first few innings. For readers tracking the Mets-Padres series, the matchup also fits into a run of recent interest around the clubs, including New York’s earlier rebound against San Diego and the series opener that followed it.
It is still a preview, not a result, so the only certainty is the one that matters most before first pitch: McLean and Canning are the names posted for the game, and the next hard deadline is 10:10 PM ET. Whether the Mets turn that into a clean finish or another long night will be settled on the field.
