Clase (2-9) failed to record an out Monday versus the Giants, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits to take a blown save and the loss.
EDGE Analysis
Clase gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Blake Sabol and LaMonte Wade, surrendering the one-run lead the Guardians had taken in the top of the 10th inning. This was Clase's second blown save in his last three appearances, and he's up to 11 blown saves while converting a major-league leading 39 saves this season. He's at a 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB through 66.2 innings. Despite his struggles this year, the Guardians have stood by the 25-year-old in the closer role throughout the campaign, and it seems unlikely he'd lose the gig this late in the year with the team's playoff hopes already quite faint.

Clase pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Angels. He did not strike out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Clase needed 15 pitches to complete the clean inning just a day after he was tagged for two runs in two-thirds of an inning in a blown save. The right-hander still leads the majors with 39 saves, but he's also blown 10 saves in a less-than-dominant campaign. He's at a 3.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB through 65.2 innings this season.

Clase (2-8) blew a save and took the loss against the Angels on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Clase entered in the ninth frame to try to protect a 2-1 lead but couldn't get the job done. Los Angeles racked up three straight hits with one out to score the game-tying run, and the contest ended when Randal Grichuk singled home the game-winning score with two outs. Clase had been pitching very well coming into Thursday, converting each of his previous seven save chances and allowing just one run over 10.2 innings during that stretch. He leads the majors in both saves (38) and blown saves (10) on the campaign.

Clase worked a perfect ninth inning in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers to record his 33rd save of the season. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander topped out at 100.5 mph with his cutter as he generated his usual weak contact. Since the All-Star break, Clase has posted a 2.13 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB through 12.2 innings while converting eight of 10 save chances, and while he hasn't been as dominant in 2023 as he was the last two seasons, he's still tied with Camilo Doval and Alexis Diaz for the major-league lead in saves.

Clase picked up the save Tuesday against the Reds, working around a hit while logging a strikeout in a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
It was a much-needed effort from Clase after he allowed three runs while blowing a save in his last appearance Saturday in Tampa Bay. Despite the hiccup, Clase's been dependable of late, working to a 1.98 ERA over his last 14 outings (13.2 innings). He's now 32-for-41 in save opportunities with a 3.16 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB across 54.1 innings this season.
