Biography:
2008

Meredith went 0-0 with a 2.70 ERA across six games with the Portland Beavers. In 6,2 innings he allowed six hits, three walks and struck out four. He induced one double play grounder while holding the opposition to a .231 average.

Meredith went 0-3 with a 4.09 ERA across 73 games with the San Diego Padres. In 70.1 innings he allowed 79 hits, 24 walks and struck out 49. He allowed six homers and induced 12 double play grounders while holding the opposition to a .290 average.

2007

Meredith went 5-6 with a 3.50 ERA over 80 games with the San Diego Padres. In 79.2 innings he allowed 94 hits, walked 17 and struck out 59.

2006

As a rookie, posted a National League-low 1.07 ERA among relievers (at least 50.0 IP). He also held opposing batters to a league-low .170 among relief pitchers. He did not surrender a run in 28 consecutive appearances, a span of 33 2/3 innings from July 18-Sept. 12. That streak set a new franchise record, starter or reliever, eclipsing Randy Jones' 30-inning scoreless streak. The 33 2/3 straight scoreless innings also tied Orel Hershiser's mark in 1984 for the second-longest such streak by a rookie since 1970. It now stands as the longest scoreless stretch by a rookie relief pitcher in the live-ball era (1920).

Cla Meredith went 3-0 with two saves and a 1.39 ERA over 24 appearances for the Portland Beavers. In 32.1 innings he allowed 26 hits, walked four and struck out 24. The opposition hit .222 off him with two homers.

Notes:

A sixth-round pick in the 2004 draft by the Red Sox, Meredith moxed quickly through Boston's farm system, landing on the major league roster less than a year after he was drafted.

Meredith was traded to the Padres on May 1, 2006 along with Josh Bard and future considerations for catcher Doug Mirabelli.
