So does Borowski get credited with a save?
    #6787159 -

He came in with 2 outs in the top of the 9th to close it out. Men on 2nd and 3rd, score 4-0. But that means the tying run was on deck.

A save is credited to a pitcher who fulfills the following three conditions:

1. The pitcher is the last pitcher in a game won by his team;
2. The pitcher is not the winning pitcher (for instance, if a starting pitcher throws a complete game win or, alternatively, if the pitcher gets a blown save and then his team scores a winning run while he is the pitcher of record, sometimes known as a "vulture win");
3. The pitcher fulfills at least one of the following three conditions:
a. He comes into the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one full inning.
b. He comes into the game with the potential tying run either on base, at bat, or on deck.
c. He pitches "effectively" (usually for at least three innings) after entering the game with a lead. (This rule can be contentious, as it is subject to the judgment of the official scorer.)


So I'm guessing it comes down to the official scorer not crediting him with a save in the condition of 3c

Well, he met conditions 1, 2, and 3b, so it should be a save.
