• The Mets, fresh off an injury scare involving Jacob deGrom, will look to clinch a series against the visiting San Diego Padres when Stroman takes the mound. Stroman (5-4, 2.41 ERA) is slated to oppose Joe Musgrove (4-5, 2.33) in a battle of right-handers. deGrom earned the win Friday night, when he continued his historic start to the season before exiting with right flexor tendinitis following six innings of one-hit scoreless ball in the Mets’ 3-2 victory.

• But while Peterson has a 6.37 ERA, Stroman entered Friday with the 10th-best ERA in the NL while pitching at least six innings in each of his past six starts and in nine of 12 starts overall. Stroman earned the win against the Padres last Sunday when he allowed an unearned run over 6 2/3 innings in the Mets’ 6-2 victory.

• The Padres hope a comeback attempt on Friday against the Mets’ bullpen — Jake Cronenworth hit a two-run homer in the seventh and the potential go-ahead run stepped to the plate in the eighth and ninth innings — sparks an offense that has been slumping for most of the month. San Diego has scored just four runs in the past three games and has scored more than three runs twice in 10 games in June.

• Musgrove took the loss against the Mets June 5, when he gave up three runs over five innings as the Padres fell 4-0 to deGrom. Stroman is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in three career starts against the Padres. Musgrove is 1-3 with a 6.11 ERA in four games (three starts) against the Mets.
