3 years agoCleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase ended up earning the win in Monday's 12-9 extra-innings game against the White Sox. Clase came on to pitch the 10th inning with a one-run lead and a ghost runner on second. He allowed a leadoff single, allowed the tying run to score on a fielder's choice hit to him, got the first out on a sac bunt, intentionally walked the bases loaded, then got the next two outs on force outs to keep the game tied. The Guardians were able to take the lead in the 11th and ultimately finished the game, making Clase the winning pitcher of record. It wasn't his best performance, but Clase has still pitched well, compiling a 2.92 ERA to go with six of eight save opportunities converted. He remains a higher-end fantasy closer option.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
