Can a Starting Pitcher Win and Record a Save if They Re Playing Away and Come into the Game with Runs Scored Then Throw a 9 Inning Shutout

Yes, a starting pitcher can win and record a save if they are playing away and come into the game with runs scored, then throw a 9 inning shutout. This is because a save is awarded to a relief pitcher who enters the game with a lead of three runs or less and preserves the lead for at least three innings. In this case, the starting pitcher would have already thrown at least three innings, so they would be eligible for a save if they preserved the lead for the rest of the game.

  1. Can a starting pitcher get a win and a save in the same game? Yes, if they throw at least three innings in relief and preserve a lead of three runs or less.

  3. Can a relief pitcher get a win and a save in the same game? No, a relief pitcher can only get a win or a save, not both.
  4. What is the minimum number of innings a starting pitcher must pitch to qualify for a win? Five innings.
  5. What is the minimum number of innings a relief pitcher must pitch to qualify for a save? Three innings.
