Marlins vs Padres Live Tonight: Start Time, TV Channel, Streaming & Key Matchups

Date: 27 May 2025 Location: Petco Park, San Diego, CA H2: Marlins jump on Padres early in series opener Jesús Sánchez unloaded on a 417-foot fastball in the second inning and the Miami Marlins raced to a 3-0 lead that still held as the clubs entered the middle frames at Petco Park Monday night. The right-fielder’s seventh homer of the season followed a first-inning RBI double by rookie designated hitter Agustín Ramírez and a run-scoring single from Colton Norby, giving left-hander Ryan Weathers plenty of breathing room against his former club. H2: Pitching matchup — reunion for Weathers, opportunity for Vásquez • Miami: Ryan Weathers (1-0, 1.80 ERA) • San Diego: Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.49 ERA) Weathers, a Padres first-round pick in 2018, arrived in South Florida at last year’s deadline and appears motivated on his return to San Diego, striking out five of the first six hitters he faced. Vásquez, recalled from Triple-A El Paso earlier this month, struggled with command early but limited further damage thanks to double-play help. H2: What’s at stake • Miami (21-30) seeks a third straight win and momentum in a cramped NL East race. • San Diego (29-22) is trying to keep pace with the division-leading Dodgers and Giants after winning nine of its last 12 at home. H2: How to watch and stream Marlins vs. Padres • TV: Bally Sports Florida (MIA), Padres.TV / SDPA, MLB Network (out-of-market) • Streaming: MLB.TV, ESPN+ out-of-market packages • First pitch: 5:40 p.m. PT / 8:40 p.m. ET (series opener already in progress) H2: Key storylines to monitor H3: Sánchez’s surge The 26-year-old outfielder entered the night with a .922 OPS in May and added to it with his second-inning blast, continuing a breakout stretch that has boosted Miami’s lagging offense. H3: Tatis Jr. and Machado looking to ignite Padres’ bats Through two innings the heart of San Diego’s order had gone 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, an uncharacteristic start for a lineup that ranks third in the NL in runs per game at home. H3: Bullpen chess match Both clubs used high-leverage arms heavily over the weekend. Early offense from Miami may force Padres manager Mike Shildt to lean on middle relievers, while Marlins skipper Skip Schumaker looks for length from Weathers to protect a taxed pen. H2: Series schedule and probable pitchers • Game 2 — Tue 27 May, 6:40 p.m. PT: LHP A.J. Puk (MIA) vs. RHP Dylan Cease (SD) • Game 3 — Wed 28 May, 1:10 p.m. PT: RHP Max Meyer (MIA) vs. LHP Blake Snell (SD) H2: Betting odds (opening line) • Padres –145 moneyline; Marlins +125 • Over/Under 9.5 runs; Padres –1.5 runs +130 H2: Bottom line The Marlins have struggled on the road all year but struck first in San Diego. If Weathers continues to silence his former teammates and Sánchez stays hot, Miami could flip the script on a Padres club that has dominated at Petco Park.
