I know that you can leave the game as a pitcher and come back as long as you stay in the field but.......... Say you leave the game in the 6th with a 3-0 lead and you go to centerfield and come back in the 9th with a 3-2 lead and get everyone out. Do you get the save and the win?

Yes, but only in a case that has happened only once so far. If a pitcher is the winning pitcher in a suspended game that is resumed later, and he is traded between times and comes in as a reliever for the team he has been traded to and closes the game, he could get the win and the save. A pitcher for the Reds won and lost a game in the late 50s or early 60s by having that happen. Brosanon or something was his name. Even in your scenario he wouldn't get both.

No. One condition of earning a save is that you aren't the winning pitcher. In that instance, the pitcher gets a win and nobody gets the save.

No, part of the criteria for a save is that the pitcher who finished the game, all other criteria met, is not the winning pitcher.

No. MLB Rules #10.19(b) states that one of the criteria for a pitcher being awarded a save is "He is not the winning pitcher." So, by definition, if you're the winner pitcher then it's not a save.

No. I am pretty sure that when you are taken out as pitcher that you can't re-enter the game and pitch again.
