Which pitcher gets the loss

The Kansas City Athletics were hosting the Detroit Tigers and the game was tied in the 6th inning. Segui came out to pitch in the 7th inning. He got into trouble and was relieved by Jim Dickson.

Dickson, not Segui, got credit for the win. I have a question on if our starting pitcher gets the loss in this situation: in the top of the 6th inning, a runner gets a base hit, steals second, then walks a batter. Starting pitcher comes out and relief pitcher comes in. Then runner on second steals third. Runners on 1st and third and the runner at first leaves early to second and our pitcher steps off and over throws the second basemen and the runner at third scores. Thanks for this site and your responses.

In the next at bat, his team scores the eventual winning runs. Subsequent relief pitchers hold the opposing team to no further runs. I would very much like to assign the win to a subsequent and better performing reliever. There is however a comment in the scoring rules Based on that limited guidance, I would personally give him the win since he did pitch an entire inning.

A youth starter went 6 full innings and came out with a lead. The one relief pitcher in the top of the 7th allowed the opposition to tie but completed the inning. The home team won in a walk-off in the bottom of the 7th. The pitcher of record when the winning runs scored gets the win.

Same reply as above: August 30, Three pitchers used in a high school game. Starter goes 4 complete and leaves the game with a 2 to 1 lead. After 7 innings the game is tied Relief pitcher throws the 5th, 6th and 7th. We take the lead in the top of the 8th 3 -2 and a third pitcher closes the game. Does the pitcher that threw the 5th, 6th and 7th get the win, the closer get the save and the starter gets a no decision?

Four pitchers are used; first pitcher goes 3 innings, 2nd pitcher goes 3 innings, 3rd pitchers goes 2 inning, and the final pitcher goes 1 inning. All pitches do well; no pitcher is replaced for poor performance. The four pitchers collectively pitch a shutout and win The offense scored one run in the 1st inning and one run in fourth inning. So the lead was established while the first pitcher was in the game and the lead was never relinquished.

The first pitcher gave up one hit; the second pitched gave up no hits. The win was officially awarded to the second pitcher. Correct decision. Lead was never relinquished, the starting pitcher did NOT go the requisite 5 innings, the 2nd pitcher did pitch effectively through the 6th.

Would you have given the win in the blow out game today August 22, between the Dodgers and the Reds to Chavez 1. In the games I do, I always default to whichever pitcher has the best looking mom!

But seriously, based on the game situation, I think Chavez is the right choice. He came in to a game and held the Reds to 1 run. Dayton then held them scoreless when the game was — this was a much lower pressure situation. I think by default when multiple pitchers are somewhat equally effective, scorers default to the first pitcher. Thanks for your reply and explanation. Whoever allowed the runner to get on base takes the loss.

If he reached base while the reliever was pitching he gets the loss. You can get a loss without giving up any earned runs. Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it. And Carl has answered your question below. The pitcher who pitched the 8th would get the win. The pitcher of record in the bottom of the 8th would be the winning pitcher. Assumptions: the score was tied after 8 innings and the visitors scored the go ahead run in the top of the 9th.

The closer who started the bottom of the 9th gets the save if the lead was 3 runs or less when he started. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Yes, you are correct. Bill singleton October 28, at Ruben Lipszyc June 29, at Pedro febles April 15, at Libby May 8, at Great post! Carl Ingber June 7, at Dave June 29, at Paul99 July 2, at Ruben Lipszyc July 17, at Len Zaslowsky September 26, at Ruben Lipszyc September 26, at Grant Sansom-Sherwill October 24, at Ruben Lipszyc October 29, at Yes, the pitcher who pitched last gets the win, not the pinch-hitter.

Egypt May 8, at Bob Deister October 29, at PlFong October 29, at Bill Casey October 30, at When more than 1 pitcher pitches in a single game, which one gets the credit for the win or loss? First off, what goes into a loss: A pitcher is credited with a loss whenever he gives up the run that puts the opposing team in the lead and that team never gives up that lead. Since , this has changed even further, as winning 20 or more games in a single season is now achieved by only a handful of pitchers each season for example, in only three of the more than five hundred major league pitchers did so.

Winning 25 or more games is now considered one of the highest marks of extreme success and excellence in the sport, on a par with winning 30 or more games a generation or two ago. It is so rare now that the last pitcher to even do this was Bob Welch back in though it was achieved several times per decade immediately before that. Wins have become in an increasingly controversial way of determining a pitcher's brilliance.

Some baseball analysts sabermetricians argue that many times a win is completely out of the pitcher's control, and in turn a dominant pitcher with weak run support from the offense can have a substantial losing record, which affects Cy Young Award consideration. For instance, in , Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Ben Sheets had a losing record of , despite displaying an easy league best strikeout-to-walk ratio and was among baseball's Top 5 in ERA 2.

All the pitchers listed below are members of the win Club , one of the most coveted landmarks for pitchers. A variety of questions always accompanies suspended games.

If a player who appeared in the May 15 game was traded to the opposing team between May June 18, he can wear opposite uniforms and play in the same game for both teams. He can play for the Nationals in the second half of the suspended game as long as he was never substituted for in the first half of the suspended game.

Rule 7. According to the Society for American Baseball Research, the answer is no. But it almost happened to pitcher Dave Hamilton. On April 23, , he wore the uniform of the Cardinals. Hamilton was purchased by the Pittsburgh Pirates 35 days later on May On June 26, he wore the Pirates uniform in the second half of the suspended game.
