• Francisco Lindor said the New York Mets aren’t looking at the standings. But he also knows the Mets are in an enviable position — a season-high eight games over .500 with half their projected everyday lineup and two-fifths of their optimal rotation on the injured list. The Mets will look to continue surging and complete a three-game series sweep of the visiting San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon.

• Marcus Stroman carried a shutout into the seventh inning and Lindor and Jonathan Villar each homered Saturday as the Mets earned a 4-1 victory. The win was the fifth in six games — as well as the fourth straight over the Padres dating back to June 5 — for the Mets, who are eight games over .500 for the first time since finishing the 2019 season at 86-76. They’ve also spent the last 35 days in first place in the National League East, the longest stretch for the franchise since 2015, when New York reached the World Series.

• Lucchesi took the defeat in his first career start against his former team on June 4, when he allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings in the Mets’ 2-0 loss in San Diego.

• Paddack took the loss against the Mets on June 6, when he gave up three runs over six innings as the Padres fell, 6-2. He is 1-2 with a 2.89 ERA in three career starts against the Mets.
