Note that if the tying run was scored by a runner who was already on base when the new pitcher entered the game, that new pitcher will be charged with a blown save even though the run will not be charged to the new pitcher, but rather to the pitcher who allowed that runner to reach base. The blown save was introduced by the Rolaids Relief Man Award in 1988.[10] A pitcher who enters the game in a save situation and does not finish the game—but his team still leading—is not charged with a save opportunity. Save percentage is the ratio of saves to save opportunities.

So we'll have the data for seasons going forward plus there is an indication in the box score now. I’m working on an expanded statistics display mode, so you’ll be able to view the numbers from there. Steve

Ward comes in to pinch run for Zamora. Pruitt draws a walk. Granados throws a wild pitch. Ward advances to third base. Pruitt advances to second base. The infield draws in. Brewer is intentionally walked. Rocha comes in to pitch. Clayton lines out to short stop. Reese comes in to pinch hit for Tapia. Reese hits a home run. Ward comes in to score. Pruitt comes in to score. Brewer comes in to score. Midland 3, Greenwood 6 No, I think this is correct. When Rocha comes into pitch, Midland is still up 3-2 with 1 out and the bases loaded. This is a save situation. Rocha then gets Clayton to line out. If he gets Reese for the third out, then he would get the save. Unfortunately, Reese takes him deep for a Grand Slam! The previous pitcher, Granados is charged with the three runs for loading the bases and gets the lose because he was responsible for the winning run getting on base. Rocha is charged only with Reese’s run (the home run), but blew the save opportunity so is given a blown save. Reese is a hero in Greenwood with his 9th inning, 2 outs, pinch hit Grand Slam!
