is now eight innings away from tying the record for the longest scoreless streak in Padres history.

And based on how feeble opposing hitters have looked against the flamethrowing right-hander during his streak, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end anytime soon.

Miller hasn’t allowed a run in his past 25 2/3 innings, the longest active scoreless streak in the Majors. But that figure doesn’t even explain the full extent of his dominance.

Here are some incredible facts and figures behind Miller’s streak.

• Miller hasn’t allowed a run since Aug. 5, 2025, his second appearance with the Padres after they acquired him from the A’s in a Trade Deadline blockbuster. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he now has the eighth-longest scoreless streak in Padres history — Cla Meredith set the franchise record with 33 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings in 2006.

• If you include the 2025 postseason and ’26 World Baseball Classic, Miller has thrown 32 1/3 straight scoreless innings.

• The right-hander has faced 15 batters this season, and 11 have gone down on strikes. That includes nine consecutive K’s — all swinging — dating back to his appearance on April 1, with only six called balls during that stretch of at-bats.

• Miller is best known for his triple-digit heater, but his slider may be even tougher to hit. He’s generated a 76.9% whiff rate on sliders this season and has struck out a whopping 33 batters in 44 PAs ending on sliders during his scoreless streak.

• Opposing hitters have collected just five hits — all singles — in 79 at-bats off Miller during his scoreless streak, good for a .063 batting average. Nearly 60% of the batters he’s faced during that time have struck out. We should name the five hitters who have gotten a hit off Miller during this run, because they probably deserve a medal or something.

— Masataka Yoshida, Aug. 9, 2025
— Heliot Ramos, Aug. 18, 2025
— Josh Naylor, Aug. 26, 2025
— Warming Bernabel, Sept. 6, 2025
— Luis Arraez, April 1, 2026

• Of the past 50 hitters to face Miller in the regular season, Arraez is the only one to collect a base knock.

• Among the 365 pitchers to face at least 75 batters since Miller’s scoreless streak began, he ranks first in opponents’ batting average (.063), slugging percentage (.063), strikeout rate (59.6%) and whiff rate (52.2%) — and second place isn’t particularly close in any of those categories.

• Miller has recorded a 0.65 ERA in a Padres uniform, the third-lowest mark through a pitcher’s first 26 appearances with the franchise behind Fernando Rodney (0.34 in 2016) and John Urrea (0.52 in 1981).
