EDGE Analysis

Clase came on in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead and allowed two of the first three hitters he faced to reach base. However, he notched a big strikeout of Ryan Noda with one out and the tying run on third base before getting Seth Brown to fly out to end the game. Clase thus recorded his seventh straight successful save opportunity and is now 22-for-27 in save chances this season. He is tied for the major-league lead in that category and is on pace to challenge his career-best total of 42 saves, which he set last season.

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.
