Emmanuel Clase worked a little harder to earn Sunday's save against Toronto.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Emmanuel Clase has made saving an American League-best 24 games look almost effortless at times, but closing outrequired a little more work than usual as Cleveland’s two-time All-Star put the go-ahead run on base with two out in the ninth.
It was just the second time in his last nine outings that Clase has faced more than one batter over the minimum in the game’s final inning. Clase converted his 11th consecutive save, the third-longest streak of his career and longest since his career-high 25-save conversion streak from May 14 to Sept. 5 of 2022.
After making his big league debut in Saturday’s win against Toronto, Martinez said standing atop first base and looking back toward the Guardians dugout to see his teammates cheer him on was a proud moment. When asked if he had any plans for the ball from his first hit, Martínez said he would be sending it to his mother for safekeeping.
