With the steak, he moved past Cla Meredith for the longest scoreless streak in Padres history. It’s been since August 6 when Miller has thrown a pitch without a run. After the game, Miller had a reaction that many probably would have expected him to have after making history.
“Big load off, for sure — I think we can stop talking about it now,” Miller said via MLB.com. “Just keep pitching, see how long we can go.”
So far this season, Miller has converted all 10 of his save opportunities while also striking out 27 batters and allowing five base runners in 13 1/3 innings. His scoreless streak is the longest by a pitcher since Zac Gallen ’s 44 1/3 streak for the Diamondbacks in 2022.
Miller passed a franchise legend, the late Randy Jones, for the second spot on the list. Against the Diamondbacks, he passed Meredith, who set the record in 2006.

“There’s a lot of great pitchers on [that list],” Miller said. “Passing Randy, getting to talk about him, and ultimately passing Cla, too — it’s just reflecting back on Padres history. Now I’m a part of that. I think that’s pretty awesome.”
If Miller continues his dominance on the mound, the Padres are going to be hard to stop, and they’re already showing it early in the season with an 18-8 record and standing atop the National League West.
