Clase picked up the save in Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Red Sox. He didn't allow a hit while striking out two and walking one during a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Clase is the first closer to 20 saves this season and sports a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB across 31 appearances (30 innings). The right-hander has blown five save opportunities already, which is one more than he had across 77 appearances last year, but he's converted his past five chances and remains one of the elite ninth-inning options in MLB.

Clase earned his second save in as many days with a scoreless ninth inning against the Twins on Sunday. He allowed a hit and a walk and struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Clase gave the Twins a glimpse of hope after giving up a walk and a single but ended the game by striking out Willi Castro. The 25-year-old now has four consecutive scoreless outings and is pacing all of baseball with 19 saves. His numbers aren't as eye-popping as year's past, but he's still proving he's as elite as they come in the ninth inning. Clase has a 3.10 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 29 innings.

Clase earned a save against the Twins on Saturday with a perfect inning that included two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Clase had no problem protecting a two-run ninth-inning lead, striking out the first two batters he faced and needing a modest 15 pitches overall to set down the side in order. The save was the first for Clase since last Friday, though that wasn't due to any struggles, as the closer notched two scoreless innings in non-save situations in the interim. Clase leads MLB in both saves (18) and save chances (23) this season.

Clase picked up the save in Monday's 3-0 win over the White Sox, tossing a perfect ninth inning while recording one strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Clase was called on to preserve Cleveland's shutout, and he succeeded by retiring Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada and Clint Frazier in order. It was a nice bounce-back effort for the closer, who blew a save and took the loss during his last appearance. Clase's strikeout numbers are down while his ERA and WHIP are up from previous years, but the right-hander has still recorded an MLB-high 16 saves.
