Mason Miller breaks Padres scoreless innings record, now 7 frames away from MLB mark for relievers
Could Miller be the first reliever to win the NL Cy Young Award since 2003?
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. ” Mason Miller closes out the ballgame and extends his scoreless innings streak to 34.

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.
