Padres Right-Hander Cease Hit in Back of Head with 1-Hopper, Stays in Game

The New York Mets and San Diego Padres open a three-game series at PETCO Park on Monday, July 28, 2025, starting at 9:40 p.m. ET.
This matchup follows strong recent performances, including the Mets' seven-game winning streak and the Padres' recent 9-2 win over the Cardinals, reflecting their competitive standings.
The Mets will start right-hander Frankie Montas, who has a 3-1 record and a 4.62 ERA, coming off a lat injury, while the Padres counter with Dylan Cease, whose record stands at 3-10 with a 4.59 ERA but has posted a stronger 3.48 ERA when pitching at Petco Park.
Dimers performed 10,000 data-driven simulations predicting the Padres have a 54% chance to win, while the Mets have a 64% chance to cover the +1.5 run line, with the over/under at eight runs deemed equally likely.
The game outcome could impact playoff positioning as the Mets lead the NL East at 62-44 and the Padres hold a 57-49 record, with both teams seeking critical wins in this first meeting of their season series.
