So as I said previously if the reliever had only allowed the on base runner (charged to the starter) to score in the 7th score 4 to 2 and the the starters team comes back in the bottom of the 7th and ties it at 4 to 4. Then the reliver gives up a run in the top of the 8th now losing 5 to 4 and the starters team does not score in the bottom of eighth and game ends 5 to 4. Based on what you just said now the reliver gets the loss.
So waht you say is the rule is if the releiver gives up a 5th run in the 7th inning the starter is the loser but if the reliever gives up the same 5th run in the 8th he is the loser. If that is the official rule then someones was drunk when they wrote that one.
