Picks up 43rd save Clase earned a save against the White Sox on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters in a scoreless inning of work.
Impact Clase entered in the ninth inning with a two-run lead and gave up just a harmless two-out infield single. The veteran closer punched out two of the four batters he faced -- just the second time he's recorded multiple strikeouts across his past 10 appearances. Clase is posting under a strikeout per inning for the second straight season, but that hasn't prevented him from putting together a dominant campaign. The right-hander is tied for the major-league lead with 43 saves -- one shy of the career-high mark he established last season -- and has registered a 0.68 ERA and 0.66 WHIP over 66.1innings.

Impact Clase is up to 42 saves on the year, and he's converted 29 consecutive opportunities. He needed just seven pitches (six strikes) to set down the Nos. 5-7 in the Dodgers' order Friday. Clase has given up two runs (one earned) over 15 innings since the beginning of August and now has a 0.69 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 56:8 K:BB over 65.1 innings. He needs two more saves to match his career high from last year.

Picks up 41st save Clase pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record his 41st save of the season Monday against the Royals.
Impact Clase did not allow a baserunner and did not strikeout any hitters on his way to his 41st save, which puts him one behind Ryan Helsley for the MLB lead. Clase was coming off an appearance on Friday where he allowed his first earned run since the beginning of July, so it's no surprise to see him back to his dominant ways. The 26-year-old has allowed just five earned runs all season and sports a miniscule 0.70 ERA through 64.1 innings.

First in AL to 40 saves Clase picked up a one-inning save in Friday's 10-8 victory over the Pirates, working around solo homer while striking out one.
Impact With this 13-pitch effort, Clase reached the 40-save plateau for the third time in his career and trails only Ryan Helsley (41) for the MLB lead. It wasn't a clean save though, as the Cleveland closer allowed his second homer of the season -- a leadoff solo shot by Andrew McCutchen -- snapping a streak of nine straight scoreless appearances. Overall, Clase now sports a paltry 0.71 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and K:BB across 63.1 innings this season.

Notches 39th save Clase pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record his 39th save of the season Wednesday against the Royals, allowing one hit and striking out one.
Impact Clase allowed a one-out single to Bobby Witt, but he retired the next two batters to secure the 7-5 win for Cleveland.

Clase's 0.58 ERA would be the second-lowest ever recorded in a single season (minimum 50 innings pitched), only bested by Zack Britton (0.54) in 2016.
