The San Diego Padres host the Seattle Mariners at Petco Park for the final game of a weekend series.

- No specific injury reports available from the latest data; both teams appear to field near full strength squads.
- Petco Park is a pitcher-friendly ballpark which could suppress scoring. Weather and field conditions are typical for San Diego in May, likely neutral in impact.
