Emmanuel Clase Shuts The Door On The Reds
1 year agoCleveland Guardians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase earned the save on Tuesday when he allowed just one hit to go along with a strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning in a 3-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Clase entered the bottom of the ninth inning with Cleveland holding on to a 3-0 lead and had to work around a leadoff single by Spencer Steer to earn the save. He struck out Henry Ramos, got Christian Encarnacion-Strand to pop out, and then got TJ Friedl to fly out to end the contest. Clase has not been his dominant self this season, holding a 1-7 record while going 32-for-41 on save opportunities. He's notched four saves in six chances so far in August and despite his struggles is still one of the better closers in the game. He owns a 3.15 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 52:13 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings on the season.
