He left the game behind. His team never caught up. He is the losing pitcher. Dem's da rules.
(The hockey comment is because they do it the way it seems that you think baseball should. Kind of silly to me. Goalie is pulled after giving up 3 goals in 5 minutes and is down 3-0. The other team tacks on 2 more - down 5-0. Then his team rallies for 3 goals late, and all of a sudden the NEW goalie is the loser, even though he only gave up 2 goals in 2.9 periods ... same with Game Winning Goal vs Game Winning RBI (not tracked as much anymore as it used to be))
