Clase allowed two hits in one-third of an inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The Guardians brought in Bryan Shaw with a 6-0 lead in the ninth inning. That went poorly, with Shaw allowing three runs on four hits and a sacrifice fly. Clase entered the game with one on and two outs and allowed two straight singles for one more run to score before getting Max Kepler on a groundout to end the rally. Despite the shakiness, Clase was able to escape with no runs on his ledger for the second straight outing since his blown save versus the Royals on Wednesday. The 24-year-old owns a 1.36 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 61:10 K:BB while converting 33 of 36 save chances through 59.2 innings this year. He is now tied with Atlanta's Kenley Jansen for the major-league lead in saves.

He bounced back from a blown save his last time out against the Royals to earn his 32nd save of the season.

Clase (2-4) took the loss and a blown save Wednesday versus the Royals, allowing two runs on a hit and three walks over two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Clase's blown save was his first since May 9, and the earned runs he gave up were his first since Aug. 6. MJ Melendez accounted for the tying run with an RBI single, and Salvador Perez followed up with a sacrifice fly to walk it off. It's important to keep in mind this was Clase's fourth appearance in the last five days, so some slight fatigue may have played a role in the poor result. Clase has had few hiccups this year, as evidenced by his 1.39 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB through 58.1 innings. He's now 31-for-34 in save chances.

Clase allowed an unearned run on two hits in one inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Clase allowed an RBI single to MJ Melendez in the 10th inning, but the Guardians' closer was able to erase the threat with a double play. Clase had limited the damage to two unearned runs over his last 12.1 innings, adding eight saves and a loss in that span. He's converted 25 save chances in a row and now has 31 on the year. He's also posted a tiny 1.09 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 59:7 K:BB through 57.2 innings.

Clase saved Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners, tossing a perfect ninth inning. He failed to record a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Clase was brought in to pitch the ninth inning of a one-run game and made quick work of the top of Seattle's lineup by sealing the deal with six pitches, all of them going for strikes. The save, his 30th of the season, puts the 24-year-old ahead of Kenley Jansen, Josh Hader and Taylor Rogers for the MLB lead as he's converted 24 consecutive chances dating back to May 14. Clase has posted a 0.87 ERA across 10.1 August innings to improve his ERA and WHIP to 1.17 and 0.65, respectively.

Clase (2-3) allowed an unearned run on one hit without recording an out, taking the loss in extra innings versus the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Clase gave up the game-winning hit to Mitch Haniger on the third pitch of the 11th inning. This ended Clase's 7.1-inning scoreless streak, though he hasn't given up an earned run in that span since this misstep came with the initial runner scoring. The right-hander still has a 1.20 ERA with a 0.66 WHIP and 57:6 K:BB through 52.2 innings while racking up 29 saves this year as the unquestioned closer for Cleveland.
