In the ninth, Jansen retired the side on eight pitches to finish off the save, his 21st of the year.

Miller has a 2.21 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 70:14 K:BB across 40.2 innings this season and should immediately reclaim the closer role from Tyler Ferguson.

Clase (4-2) allowed an unearned run without putting a runner on base over one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Arizona played some small ball, using a pair of sacrifices to scrape together a run in the 10th inning, The Guardians couldn't respond, leaving Clase to take his first loss since April 28. The closer has gone 10 innings without allowing an earned run, but he's been tagged for two unearned runs in that span. Clase remains rock-solid with a 0.69 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 45:6 K:BB over 52.1 innings while adding 33 saves in 36 chances.

Yates (4-1) picked up the extra-inning win Monday against the Astros, pitching two innings while allowing one unearned run and one walk. He struck out four.

This marks the 23rd career win for the 37-year-old reliever, as he has pitched to a splendid 1.08 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 59:19 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season.
