EMMANUEL CLASE NEWS

Notches fourth save Clase gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his fourth save of the season in a 3-1 win over the A's.

Impact An Elvis Andrus double to right field made things a little interesting, but Clase was able to get the job done. Since stumbling out of the gate and being tagged for runs in each of his first two appearances of the season, the right-hander has a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 6:1 K:BB over his last 6.1 innings.

Nails down third save Clase saved Friday's 9-8 win against the Athletics, allowing one hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

Impact Despite the clean line, the outing was far from easy for Clase as he surrendered a leadoff double to Kevan Smith and recorded the final two outs with Smith on third base. The hard-throwing 24-year-old has an uncharacteristically high 5.68 ERA through 6.1 innings this season, but a career 1.81 mark and 3.44 SIERA this season suggest better outings are ahead.

Blows save, takes loss Clase (0-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one across 0.2 innings to blow the save and take the loss Saturday against the Yankees.

Impact Clase entered the game with a one-run lead but immediately walked Josh Donaldson. After retiring the next two batters he faced, Clase allowed a double and single to lose the game. Clase has had a bumpy start to the season, as he's now allowed multiple earned runs in two of his six appearances. Despite the struggles, he should continue to see save chances for the Guardians.

Impact Clase earned his second save of the season -- and in as many days -- by retiring the White Sox in order on 10 pitches.

Registers first save Clase did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Impact Clase was on the mound for the fourth time this season, but he finally got the chance to earn his first save. Though he didn't record a strikeout, the outcome was never in doubt as he needed only eight pitches to retire the White Sox in order. Clase clearly holds the closer role in Cleveland, and he should see plenty of opportunities as the season progresses.

Allows two runs Clase coughed up a two-run homer in a non-save situation during Monday's win over the Royals. He walked one batter and struck out another.

Impact Clase entered a 10-5 game and struggled out of the game. He walked Bobby Witt and then gave up a two-run shot to Andrew Benintendi before retiring the next three batters. Clase has yet to see a save opportunity but he's allowed three hits and three runs (two earned) through two appearances this season.

Handed loss Saturday Clase (0-1) allowed an unearned run on two hits without recording an out, taking the extra-inning loss Saturday versus the Royals.

Impact Clase wasn't able to navigate the automatic runner in the 10th inning, allowing back-to-back singles to Hunter Dozier and Adalberto Mondesi. It's a tough result to open the season for Clase, but there's little reason to be worried yet. The right-hander posted a stellar 1.29 ERA and 0.96 WHIP while converting 24 saves in 69.2 innings last season, and he'll continue to get looks in high-leverage spots. It'll take more than one rough outing for his closer status to be in danger.
