Saves RUle

Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions:

(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and (2) He is not the winning pitcher; and (3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions: (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or (b) He enters the game with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck; or (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game. It is considered a ‘blown save’ when a pitcher who has entered a game in a save situation departs with the save situation no longer in effect because he has given up the lead. If the save situation still exists when he leaves the game, he is not charged with a save opportunity. And, if he has not given up the lead when he leaves the game, even though the save situation may no longer exist, he is not charged with a save opportunity.
