Emmanuel Clase is breaking bats and records at an almost equal rate.
He's become baseball's grim reaper, the cream of the closer crop. Cleveland's right-hander with a devilish cut fastball not seen since Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera's dominant days with the New York Yankees is having a season to remember.
Maybe one that includes winning the Cy Young, a rarity for relievers.
On Monday night, Clase earned his MLB-leading 46th save - his 33rd straight since May 20 to tie Jose Mesa's single-season team record - as the Guardians inched closer to an unexpected AL Central title by rallying for a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins.
The game followed a familiar script: another Cleveland comeback (the club's 40th), followed by Clase.
