In today's game, Spencer Price was credited with a save. As I understand the rules, a pitcher must satisfy the following for a save:
- He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning - Price came in at the bottom of the 8th with a 4 run lead.
- He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck. - Price came in with 2 men on base. Not enough to tie the game.
- He pitches for at least three innings. - He only pitched 1.1 innings.
