Third straight blown save 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.
Impact 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.

Takes another blown save 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.
Impact 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.

Takes second straight loss 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.
Impact 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.

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

Implodes in non-save situation 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.
Impact 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.

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

Tallies 11th save Clase didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one to earn the save Wednesday against the Orioles.
Impact 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.
