Two teams off to strong starts continue their four-game weekend series as the San Diego Padres host the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.
While it's no surprise to see the Padres jostling with the Dodgers atop the NL West, the Cardinals are in the midst of a bounceback season on the heels of a fourth-place finish in 2025.
Jordan Walker (.956 OPS, 10 home runs) has led the St. Louis offense so far, and Friday's starter Michael McGreevy leads the pitching staff. The 25-year-old right-hander got the win with six shutout innings against the Dodgers last time out and will look to keep rolling against a solid San Diego lineup led by Xander Bogaerts.
The Padres seem to have rebounded after losing back-to-back home series to the Cubs and White Sox. They will send Griffin Canning to the hill Friday in his second start since he suffered a season-ending Achilles tear last June with the Mets. The veteran had an impressive debut last time out against the White Sox, striking out seven and allowing three hits and a run in five innings.
Who will prevail Friday as two postseason hopefuls clash at Petco Park? Here's when and where to tune in and watch all the action.
