SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Game times were announced Wednesday for the San Diego Padres’ National League Wild Card series against the New York Mets this weekend.
The Padres, who clinched a postseason berth on Sunday and are the No. 5 seed, will take on the No. 4 seed Mets at Citi Field in a best-of-3 series that begins Friday night.
Major League Baseball’s schedule for the Padres-Mets series:
- Game 1, Friday, Oct. 7, 5:07 p.m. Pacific time (game airs on ESPN)
- Game 2, Saturday, Oct. 8, 4:37 p.m. Pacific time (game airs on ESPN)
- Game 3 (if necessary), Sunday, Oct. 9, 4:37 p.m. Pacific time (game airs on ESPN)
MLB laid out several scenarios in which game times for the Padres-Mets series would be adjusted.
The Padres announced Yu Darvish would take the hill for San Diego in Game 1, but the team did not say which pitcher would start Game 2.
New York's Game 1 starter will be Max Scherzer, but they too did not announce a starter for Game 2.
Should the Padres win the series in New York, they would advance to the NL Division Series to face the top seed Los Angeles Dodgers.
The NL and AL Division Series both start Oct. 11.
