Emmanuel Clase's resilience was put to the test in a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals. After a disappointing performance in the first game, which included a blown save thanks to a walk-off home run by Jonathan India, Clase returned to the mound in the second game. This time, he delivered a flawless performance, securing a save that was crucial for the Cleveland Guardians as they fought for playoff positioning.

Facing the pressure, Clase managed to record three consecutive outs, demonstrating his ability to bounce back. His success not only helped the Guardians clinch a much-needed victory but also highlighted the rarity of a pitcher achieving a save on the same day as a blown save. Despite the immediate relief, there are concerns regarding his availability for future games, underscoring the challenges faced by relief pitchers during tight playoff races.
