Actually, Tee, I believe the relief pitcher has to either face a batter or retire the side, not merely retire a runner. Merely retiring a runner is not enough.

That is, if there's only 1 out and he picks off a runner, he still needs to complete his requirement to pitch to a batter or pick off another runner to retire the side..............
