Mason Miller closed out the San Diego Padres’ 6-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday in the two-game Mexico City Series at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú.
Allowing no runs against the top of the D-Backs’ lineup, Miller has now pitched 34 2/3 scoreless innings going back to last August. That set a Padres team record, surpassing Cla Meredith, who didn’t allow a run in 33 2/3 frames during the 2006 season.
“It’s a big load off, for sure,” Miller said, referring to setting the Padres’ record. “I think we can stop talking about it now and just keep pitching and see how long we can go.”
However, the questions likely won’t stop because Miller is now chasing another record. He is now seven innings away from achieving the longest scoreless streak by a reliever in MLB history. Gregg Olsen threw 41 innings without allowing a run from 1989-90 with the Baltimore Orioles. Six other relievers now stand between Miller and Olsen’s record.
Olson, Orioles: 41 innings
Brad Ziegler, Athletics: 39 innings (2008)
Ryan Pressly, Astros: 39 (2018-19)
Josh Hader, Brewers: 38 (2021-22)
Bob Moose, Pirates: 38 (1975-76)
Craig Kimbrel, Braves 37 2/3 (2011)
J.C. Romero, Twins: 36 (2004)
Miller’s streak is the longest by any reliever or starter since Zac Gallen threw 44 1/3 scoreless innings for the D-Backs in 2022.
