Mason Miller is 8 innings away from tying the San Diego Padres franchise record for the longest consecutive scoreless innings streak. Furthermore, judging by the performance of opposing batters against this power righty during this period, this record seems unlikely to be surpassed soon.
Miller has not surrendered a run in his past 25.2 innings of pitching, making this the longest ongoing consecutive scoreless innings streak in the majors. However, this number doesn't fully capture his dominance. Here are some astonishing facts and statistics behind Miller's record.
• Miller has not allowed a run since August 5, 2025, which was his second appearance after being traded to the Padres from the Athletics in a major deadline deal. According to Elias Sports Bureau data, he now holds the eighth-longest consecutive scoreless innings streak in Padres history, with Cla Meredith's 33.2 consecutive scoreless innings in 2006 standing as the franchise record.
• Including the 2025 postseason and the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Miller has pitched 32.1 consecutive innings without allowing a run.
• This right-hander has faced 15 batters this season, striking out 11 of them. This includes 9 consecutive strikeouts since his appearance on April 1, all being swing-and-miss strikeouts, with only six pitches resulting in the batter standing still during that span.
• Miller is best known for his triple-digit fastball, but his slider might be even more difficult to hit. This season, his slider has a staggering 76.9% whiff rate. During the scoreless streak, in 44 plate appearances that ended with his slider, he struck out an astonishing 33 batters.
• During Miller's scoreless innings streak, opposing batters have managed only 5 hits in 79 at-bats, all singles, resulting in a meager .063 batting average. Nearly 60% of the batters he faced during this period were struck out. We should note the names of these five batters who managed a hit off Miller, as they perhaps deserve a medal.

• Among the last 50 regular-season batters faced by Miller during his scoreless streak, Arraez is the only one who recorded a hit.
• Since Miller began his scoreless streak, among 365 pitchers who have faced at least 75 batters, he ranks first in opponent batting average (.063), opponent slugging percentage (.063), strikeout rate (59.6%), and whiff rate (52.2%). Moreover, the second-place pitchers in these metrics are significantly behind him.
• Miller's ERA while wearing the Padres uniform is 0.65, ranking third lowest in franchise history for the first 26 appearances, behind only Fernando Rodney's 0.34 in 2016 and John Urrea's 0.52 in 1981.
