Question

i dunno

Answer 1

The official definition, from the MLB rule book:

SAVES FOR RELIEF PITCHERS
10.20
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, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or
(c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

Answer 2

If a pitcher comes in to the game ahead by 3 runs or less. At the same time, if a pitcher comes in and his team scores and leads by more then 3 runs. He still earns the save.

Answer 3

The game must be within 3 runs at the beginning of the final frame.

Answer 4

He comes into the game with a lead of no more than three runs.
or
He comes into the game with the potential tying run being either on base, at bat, or on deck.
or
He pitches for at least three innings after entering the game with a lead.

Answer 5

it has to be 3 runs or less win the pitcher comes up. so if they relive the pitcher in the middle of the 9th inning and winning by 3 or less. if that reliver pitcher doesn't allow a tie or lose it would be a save for that pitcher

Answer 6
