Clase (1-5) blew the save and took the loss Thursday against Kansas City. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking out one over one-third of an inning.
Clase was unable to protect a one-run lead in the bottom of the 10th inning, allowing a leadoff single to Nicky Lopez before surrendering a game-ending, two-run double to Freddy Fermin. The Cleveland closer had converted his last nine save attempts coming into Thursday, with his last blown save coming back on May 19 against the Mets. He remains tied with Jordan Romano for the league lead in saves with 24.
