Clase pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday was the fourth straight scoreless inning Clase has pitched after enduring a run of three straight blown saves. The right-hander got the ball in the ninth inning after James Karinchak pitched the eighth. Clase lowered his ERA to 1.98 with a 1.22 WHIP and 44:14 K:BB across 41 innings. He's added 12 saves, six holds and four blown saves in a high-leverage role this year.

Clase (3-5) suffered the loss and blown save in Friday's 5-4 loss to Oakland, allowing two hits and two runs in one third of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Clase entered for the ninth protecting a one-run lead and surrendered a leadoff single to Elvis Andrus followed by a Jed Lowrie walk-off home run two batter later for his third straight blown save and third loss in four appearances. The 23-year-old righty has now allowed five runs in his last 3.1 innings though his ERA still sits a 2.19 on the season.

Clase allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one inning, taking a blown save in Friday's 2-1 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

After seven shutout innings from starter Triston McKenzie, Kansas City got a solo home run from Jorge Soler off Clase in the eighth. It's been a shaky end to the first half for Clase, who has given up seven runs (four earned) in his last five innings while taking two blown saves and two losses. The homer he allowed Friday was the first he's given up all year. The hard-throwing righty has a 1.72 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 36.2 innings, but further inconsistency could lead to James Karinchak getting more of the save chances.

Clase (3-4) blew a save and took a loss after allowing two runs on three hits and a walk against the Rays on Monday. He failed to record an out.

EDGE Analysis

Clase allowed three straight singles to open the inning, including an RBI base knock by Wander Franco to tie the game. After intentionally walking Austin Meadows, he forced a groundball by Yandy Diaz but the winning run still came in to score. Clase is now 11-for-13 in save chances this season after his first blown save since April. He owns a 1.51 ERA through 35.2 innings.

Clase (3-3) allowed an unearned run and struck out three over two innings, taking the extra-inning loss Sunday versus Houston.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander had no trouble keeping the game tied in the ninth inning. Clase's troubles occurred in the 10th, when he allowed Yuli Gurriel to reach on a wild pitch. After a pair of fielder's choices and an error, Gurriel scored the go-ahead run and Cleveland couldn't answer it. It's been a rough stretch for Clase, who has given up four runs (one earned) across his last three outings. It hasn't caused much damage to his ratios -- he has a 1.01 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB through 35.2 innings this year while serving as a closing option.

Clase was charged with three runs (one earned) on three hits in his relief appearance during Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

With Cleveland losing three of its last four games heading into the second game of the twin bill and with the lone victory coming by a big margin, Clase was called upon in a non-save situation in an attempt to stay fresh. The hard-throwing righty wasn't at his best, but he was spared significant damage to his still-sparkling 1.10 ERA after teammate Yu Chang committed an error to lead off the sixth inning. With an 11-for-12 success rate on save chances to go with strong ratios, Clase should continue to remain relevant in the late innings for Cleveland, though he'll occasionally cede saves to co-closer James Karinchak.

Clase recorded a perfect inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 2-1 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The hard-throwing right-hander needed only nine pitches (seven strikes) to preserve a one-run lead in the eighth inning. Clase (11-for-12 in saves) has held a slight edge in closing duties compared to James Karinchak (8-for-9) this season, but both relievers have pitched well in high-leverage roles. Clase has a 0.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 32:13 K:BB across 29.2 innings. He's added three holds and a 3-2 record.

Clase didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one to earn the save Wednesday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

James Karinchak worked in the eighth inning with a one-run lead, leaving the save chance for Clase. Despite the high-leverage spot, Clase needed only 12 pitches to retire the side without allowing a baserunner to record his 11th save of the season. Since May 21, Clase has earned four saves while Karinchak has recorded two. He's also maintained an excellent 0.94 ERA with 32 strikeouts across 28.2 frames on the campaign.

Clase struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Monday to record his 10th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander continues to dominate as Cleveland's 1A closer alongside 1B option James Karinchak -- Clase has 10 saves in 11 chances plus two holds on the season, while Karinchak is 7-for-8 in save opportunities with six holds. Over his last 12 appearances, Clase has a 0.73 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 12.1 innings, and his ability to limit hard contact has allowed him to avoid much damage from his 10 walks during that stretch.

Clase allowed a hit but struck out three in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox, earning his ninth save of the year in the process.

EDGE Analysis

Clase allowed a leadoff single to Jake Lamb but then struck out Leury Garcia, Billy Hamilton and Nick Madrigal to end the game. The 24-year-old now owns a 1.14 ERA and 24:12 K:BB over 23.2 innings this season.
