San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 28.2 innings.

Recently, trying to score against Mason Miller? Good luck. Even making contact with the ball is a challenge.

Today, Miller once again showcased a dominant performance, completely ignoring that this was his third outing in three days. The San Diego Padres' ace closer struck out all three Colorado Rockies batters he faced in the ninth inning, followed by Gavin Sheets hitting a walk-off home run, helping the Padres win 5-2 at their home Petco Park, securing their second consecutive walk-off victory.

With this scoreless inning, Miller extended his personal cross-season consecutive scoreless innings streak to 28.2 innings, a record that began last August. This is currently the longest active consecutive scoreless innings streak in Major League Baseball, still five innings short of the team record (33.2 innings) held by Cla Meredith. In Padres history, only Meredith and Randy Jones (30 innings) have had longer consecutive scoreless streaks.

Additionally, Miller nearly struck out every batter he faced. So far this season, 24 batters have stepped into the batter's box against him, and he has recorded 19 strikeouts. His 79.2% strikeout rate is the highest since 1900 for any pitcher in their first seven appearances of a season.

Over the past three days, Miller struck out two batters in Pittsburgh, three in the series opener on Friday, and three again today. He used a slider to handle TJ Rumfield, then dispatched Willi Castro and Brenton Doyle with triple-digit fastballs, causing them to swing and miss.

This marks Miller's fourth appearance this season where he struck out all at least three batters faced. This is the most times any pitcher has achieved this feat in their team's first 14 games of a season since 1900.

“I just love having that guy on our team,” Sheets said after hitting the walk-off home run. “That's it.”
