Clase (1-2) allowed two unearned runs on two hits in one-third of an inning, taking the extra-inning loss to the Red Sox on Saturday. He was also charged with a blown save.
EDGE Analysis
Clase's scoreless streak came to an end at seven innings with the shaky appearance. He'd converted all six of his save chances over that span. For the season, the closer is 9-for-11 in save chances with a 1.88 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 14.1 innings. It's not his usual level of dominance, but it's good enough to keep him in the closer role.

Clase picked up the save during Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Rockies, tossing a scoreless ninth inning in which he allowed one hit and didn't record a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Clase entered with a three-run lead in the ninth and retired the first two batters on groundouts before Alan Trejo pushed a base hit through the infield. The hard-throwing right-hander induced a flyball from Brenton Doyle to end the game, giving Clase eight saves in nine chances. The closer hasn't allowed an earned run in eight consecutive appearances, but he's also failed to record a strikeout in five straight games. Regardless, Clase remains one of the elite relief pitchers in the game, so his strikeout numbers should rise as the season progresses.

Clase gave up two hits in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his sixth save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Tigers. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander pounded the zone, throwing 19 of 22 pitches for strikes, but Detroit hitters were able to eke out a couple singles and it took a sliding catch by Will Brennan on a Tyler Nevin bloop to right field to avoid disaster for the Guardians. Clase sports a 2.70 ERA through 10 innings and has gone 6-for-7 on save opportunities, but his 8:4 K:BB isn't yet up to the level he displayed the last two years while racking up 66 saves in 75 chances.

Clase gave up one hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday against the Nationals to secure the save.
EDGE Analysis
He hasn't been quite as dominant in the early going as he was last season, but Clase is still one of the very best closers in the league. The 25-year-old flame thrower boasts a 52.4 percent groundball rate, eight strikeouts, four saves and one win through eight innings.

Clase (1-1) took the loss Wednesday versus the Yankees, allowing an unearned run on two hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.
EDGE Analysis
Clase entered with the game tied at 3-3, so this wasn't a save situation. The right-hander gave up a single to Giancarlo Stanton, and an error by shortstop Amed Rosario got him to second base. Oswaldo Cabrera then singled in pinch runner Gleyber Torres for the go-ahead run. Clase has been a little shaky this season, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over seven innings. He's also 3-for-4 in save chances, so there's little reason to be concerned about the sloppiness.

Clase picked up the save Monday against the Yankees. He allowed zero runs on zero hits and zero walks while striking out two over one inning.
EDGE Analysis

Clase earned a save against the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland's bullpen blew a late lead to send the game into extra innings, but the Guardians' offense was able to put up two runs in the top of the 10th. Clase then came on to close the door in the bottom of the frame, throwing 11 of 15 pitches for strikes and fanning the final two batters he faced. This was a solid bounce-back after Clase blew a save chance by giving up two runs against Oakland on Monday.
