Here's How to Watch Seattle Mariners vs. San Diego Padres on Friday
The Seattle Mariners are set to begin a stretch of 10 consecutive road games against the San Diego Padres at 6:40 p.m. PT on Friday at Petco Park. The three games between the Mariners and Padres will represent the first half of the Eddie Vedder Cup, named after the Pearl Jam singer and guitarist with ties to both San Diego and Seattle. The cup will be awarded to the winner of the six-game season series between the two teams.
The first game of the inaugural Vedder Cup will be broadcast nationally on Apple TV+ on Friday.
It will be the Mariners' third nationally-televised game this season on the platform. Seattle previously played the Toronto Blue Jays on April 18, also on Apple TV+ and the Cincinnati Reds on April 16 on FoxSports 1.
The Mariners are 1-1 in their previous two nationally-televised games. Friday is the last "Friday Night Baseball" game Seattle is scheduled for on Apple TV+ before the post-June schedule is released.
