Clase earned the save against the Astros on Monday by throwing a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Clase rebounded from Sunday's blown save against the Tigers by retiring the Astros in order Monday, closing out a 7-5 win by inducing three groundouts. His 2025 numbers -- a 3.20 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 39.1 innings -- aren't anywhere near as eye-popping as last season's 0.61 ERA and 0.66 WHIP in 74.1 innings, but the flamethrower's underlying metrics remain strong. A 2.49 FIP this year compared to 2.22 in 2024 suggests he's still pitching at a high level. The jump in walk rate to 2.3 BB/9, his highest since 2019, has certainly contributed to the statistical dip, but Clase remains a top-tier reliever.

Clase allowed a run in one inning during Sunday's extra-inning loss against Detroit. He hit one batter and struck out one while being charged with a blown save.

EDGE Analysis

Clase entered a 1-0 game in the ninth inning and started by hitting Spencer Torkelson. Torkelson was replaced by Zach McKinstry, who stole second and eventually scored the tying run on a wild pitch. Clase was charged with his first blown save since June 14 and is now 18 for 22 in save chances this season. He hasn't picked up a save since June 22 and is now sporting a 3.29 ERA with a 39:10 K:BB through 38.1 frames.

EDGE Analysis

The Cleveland closer was shaky in this 31-pitch appearance to collect a save for the second consecutive day. Clase loaded the bases on two singles and a walk before securing the win by inducing a Lawrence Butler groundout to wrap the contest. After pitching to an uncharacteristic 6.75 ERA through April 30, Clase has been back to his old self since then with a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 20.1 frames while going 13-for-14 in save chances.

Clase earned a save against the Athletics on Saturday by throwing a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Clase needed just 12 pitches (eight of which were strikes) to retire the side in order and protect a two-run, ninth-inning lead. The veteran closer was effective despite not notching a strikeout for just the second time over his past nine outings. Clase's 3.58 ERA is well above his career norm, but he's still recorded 17 saves, tied for sixth-most in the majors.

Clase notched a save against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Clase inherited a two-run ninth-inning lead and worked around a two-out single to retire the side on 14 pitches. Though the veteran closer has allowed at least one baserunner in each of his past five appearances and has a mediocre 4:4 BB:K across 4.2 frames during that span, he's converted three of four save opportunities in that stretch. It certainly hasn't been Clase's smoothest season -- he's currently holding a 3.69 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, each of which is on pace to be a career-worst mark -- but he's managed to go 16-for-19 in save chances to remain comfortably in control of Cleveland's closer role.

Clase allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After a blown save Saturday in Seattle, another shaky outing isn't encouraging. Clase was able to navigate danger after loading the bases with one out in the ninth inning, getting a shallow flyout from Dominic Smith before striking out Casey Schmitt. Clase has allowed multiple baserunners in five of his seven appearances in June, so he's lucky to have given up just two runs over 6.2 innings. He's at a 3.82 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB with 15 saves in 18 chances over 30.2 innings this season.

Clase (4-1) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss and a blown save Saturday versus the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Clase's seven-inning scoreless streak was snapped in this outing. He didn't have his control, throwing just 11 of 20 pitches for strikes, though two of the walks were intentional. The tying run also scored on a wild pitch before Jorge Polanco delivered a walk-off single. Clase hadn't walked a batter since May 17 in Cincinnati. He's now at a 3.94 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB while converting 14 of 17 save chances over 29.2 innings this season. He's been hit pretty hard by regression after being nearly untouchable in 2025, but for now, it doesn't look like Clase is at risk of losing the closing job for Cleveland.
