  • Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Hurls just seven pitches in save

    Clase earned a saved over the Phillies on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

    In a game that featured very little offense, Clase was tasked with ensuring that a 1-0 lead held up for Cleveland in the ninth frame. The talented closer was up to the challenge, needing just seven pitches (six strikes) to retire the side in order. Clase went through a rocky stretch in late June and early July, but he's bounced back with five consecutive scoreless outings during which he's notched three saves and given up just one hit while posting a 5:1 K:BB over five innings.

  • Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Notches 26th save

    Clase worked a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 26th save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Phillies.

    The right-hander didn't walk or strike out a batter, instead relying on his dominant cutter -- he topped 100 mph with it five times among his 14 total pitches -- to generate weak contact. Clase has been more effective lately after some stumbles in the first couple months of the season, and since the beginning of June he's posted a 3.06 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through 17.2 innings while converting nine of 11 save chances.

  • Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Nails down 25th save

    Clase walked one batter in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 25th save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Royals.

    The right-hander threw only three of nine pitches for strikes, but after walking Maikel Garcia with one out, Clase got Bobby Witt to ground into a game-ending double play. The Cleveland closer had given up runs in three straight appearances coming into Friday, and while he's tied with Alexis Diaz, Camilo Doval and Jordan Romano for the major-league lead in saves, Clase's seven blown saves are more than the other three combined.

Clase thus recorded his seventh straight successful save opportunity and is now 22-for-27 in save chances this season.
