A: The starting pitcher is credited with a "win" when he has pitched at least five complete innings, his team is in the lead when he leaves the game, and they remain in the lead for the rest of the game. (Rule 10.19). In a 5-inning game, the requirement is shortened to "must pitch at least four complete innings". When the starter does not meet these conditions and more that one relief pitcher is used, if the team assumes the lead while the starting pitcher is in and never relinquishes it, credit the victory to the reliver who was most effective (in the judgement of the scorer). whenever the score becomes tied the game becomes a new contest insofar as determining winning and losing pitchers. the relief pitcher of record when his team assumes the lead and maintains it until the end of the game shall be the winning pitcher EXCEPT when he pitches ineffectively in a brief appearance and a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively; in that case, credit the win to the following pitcher. When a pitcher is lifted for a pinch hitter, any runs scored in the inning in which he is replaced count to his benefit in determining the winning and losing pitchers. The starting pitcher is charged with a loss if his team is behind when he leaves the game or falls behind due to runs charged to him after he is replaced and his team fails to tie or gain the lead. Interestingly, the rules do not explicitly specify how to award a loss to a relief pitcher, but the clause above ("whenever the score becomes tied...") together with the immediately preceding section yield the familiar scheme. Q: How do you determine whether a pitcher gets a save? A: A pitcher gets a save only when ALL of the following are true (Rule 10.20): He finishes the game for his team. He is not the winning pitcher Any one of the following is true: He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches one inning, OR He enters the game with the potential tying run on base, at bat, or on deck, OR He pitches at least three innings effectively. No more than one save can be awarded in any game. ------------------- 요기까지 입니다.
