Clase earned a save against Detroit on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Clase entered the contest in the top of the ninth inning and retired the first two batters he faced before walking Colt Keith. The free pass didn't hurt him, however, as the veteran closer then got Matt Vierling to ground out to end the contest. The save was Clase's second in as many days and his 18th consecutive successful opportunity since his last blown save May 19. Overall, Clase's 31 saves on the campaign rank second in the majors.

Clase earned a save against the Rays on Saturday, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Clase entered in the ninth frame and gave up a one-out single but was able to protect Cleveland's two-run lead. The right-handed closer once again didn't notch a strikeout -- he hasn't punched out a batter in any of his past six appearances -- but that hasn't prevented him from being effective, as he's gone 4-for-4 in save chances during that span. Clase's belied the typical closer profile with a modest 7.9 K/9 on the campaign, but he's been almost untouchable with 29 saves (second-most in the majors) in 32 opportunities, a 0.81 ERA and a 0.68 WHIP over 44.1 innings.

Clase got the save in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Tigers. He pitched one inning and allowed one unearned run on two hits.
EDGE Analysis
Clase allowed the phantom runner to score in the bottom of the 10th but worked around trouble to get his 28th save. The 26-year-old was named an All-Star for the third straight season thanks to his minuscule 0.83 ERA through 44 appearances. Clase is as consistent as they come in a position that can have volatility, he's led MLB in saves each of the last two seasons and trails only Ryan Helsley in 2024.
