Padres game today: the Mets are scheduled to meet the Padres on June 6, 2026, with first pitch set for 10:10 PM ET and a starting-pitcher pairing that will decide the tone of the night — Nolan McLean for the Mets opposite Griffin Canning for the Padres.
McLean is listed to start for the Mets; Canning is listed for the Padres. The matchup is the headline for fans who want to know who’s on the bump and when to tune in. The television feed is SNY; radio coverage is available on Audacy Mets Radio WHSQ 880AM, the Audacy App and 92.3 HD2.
The Mets enter the game described as looking to build off last night’s momentum, a point that frames tonight’s stakes: carry forward a win streak or fall back into a losing slide. At the same time, the club is trying to avoid another sweep in a getaway game, which adds urgency to the lineup decisions and how the staff is used early.
The immediate matchup — McLean versus Canning — will be watched for how each starter navigates the first two or three innings. A strong early showing by McLean would give the Mets room to protect a lead and manage the bullpen; an early run by the Padres against Canning would tilt the game toward the visitors’ board and force a different set of in-game choices. Those are the practical levers managers can pull tonight, and they are the ones that will determine whether the Mets’ recent momentum grows or evaporates in a single swing.
For viewers and listeners: tune to SNY to watch, or follow on Audacy Mets Radio WHSQ 880AM, the Audacy App or 92.3 HD2 to hear the game live. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 PM ET; those broadcast windows are the confirmed ways to catch the game as listed.
The unresolved element the lineup sheet leaves open is whether McLean will take the mound exactly as listed when the game begins — listed starters sometimes change in advance of first pitch — and whether the Mets can translate the previous night’s momentum into a result that avoids the sweep threat. The definitive answers will arrive with the first pitch at 10:10 PM ET, when the starters either take the field as scheduled and the series’ immediate direction becomes clearer.
