• The San Diego Padres host the Seattle Mariners on Monday to open a two-game series between teams trying to continue their push to head into the All-Star break in contention. The Padres return home after scoring four runs in the top of the ninth Sunday to rally from a 1-0 deficit to pull out a 4-2 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers to salvage the last game of the four-game set after dropping the first three to the National League West Division leaders.

• The Mariners’ 2-1 win over visiting Oakland was their fifth win in their past six games and 10th victory in their past 13 games. Seattle has won its past four series after taking three of four games against the A’s.

• Right-hander Chris Flexen (4-8, 4.32 ERA) will start for Seattle. He’s coming off allowing three runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks in six innings during a 9-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. However, Flexen is 0-2 with a 21.21 ERA, having allowed 12 runs (11 earned) to go along with three strikeouts and five walks in 4 2/3 innings spanning two appearances in his career against the Padres.

• San Diego is countering with left-hander Sean Manaea (3-3, 3.92 ERA). He’s 8-6 with a 3.46 ERA with 79 strikeouts and 27 walks in 15 appearances (all starts) spanning 93 2/3 innings all-time against the Mariners. The Padres are 3-2 in Manaea’s last five starts, in which he has a 3.72 ERA and has given up three or fewer runs in four of those games.
