Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase ended up earning the win in Monday's 12-9 extra-innings game against the White Sox. Clase came on to pitch the 10th inning with a one-run lead and a ghost runner on second. He allowed a leadoff single, allowed the tying run to score on a fielder's choice hit to him, got the first out on a sac bunt, intentionally walked the bases loaded, then got the next two outs on force outs to keep the game tied. The Guardians were able to take the lead in the 11th ...

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase closed out the team's 6-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.

He's an elite bullpen arm and if he can stay ...

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase has yet to receive a save opportunity on the season. Each of the team's four victories on the year have come in games in which the score was too lopsided headed into the ninth inning for a save opportunity to arise. Last Monday, Clase entered the game in the ninth while the team had a 10-5 lead and last Wednesday, he entered the game in the ninth while the team had a four-run lead. Clase converted 24 of his 29 save opportunities in 2021 while ...

The Cleveland Guardians and closer Emmanuel Clase were close to ironing out a contract extension on Friday. As a rookie last year, Clase went 4-5 with a 1.29 ERA and converted 24 saves in 29 opportunities over 69 2/3 innings pitched. The hard-throwing right-hander registered 100 mph or better on 44% of the 1,057 pitches he threw in 2021.

Cleveland Guardians reliever Emmanuel Clase spent a chunk of 2021 splitting save situations with James Karinchak but was the lone closer in August after the latter started to struggle. He compiled 24 saves with a 1.29 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 26.5 K% across 69.2 innings. He'll go into next season as the closer once again and will look to keep his momentum going after posting a 0.82 second-half ERA. He uses a cutter that averages 100 MPH and a hard slider with good movement that induces whiffs 40.5%...

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase threw a perfect seventh inning while striking out one to earn his 23rd save in a 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Clase has now allowed just one earned run since July 15th and has compiled a ridiculous 1.44 ERA with 66 strikeouts across 62 2/3 innings pitched on the season.

Clase has a 0.00 ERA with five saves and 10 strikeouts across 8 2/3 innings pitched in August. He appears to have taken over closer duties for the Tribe, especially after James Karinchak struggled in this one by walking two and allowing a hit in 1/3 of an inning pitched. He should prove to be ...
