Quote:
That rule states the official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:[8] - He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
- He is not the winning pitcher;
- He is credited with at least ⅓ of an inning pitched; and
- He satisfies one of the following conditions:
- He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning
- He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck
- He pitches for at least three innings
|
He gets the save because the tying run was 2nd base when he entered.
