Question as follows, The game is tied in the bottom of the inning, in the top of the next and final inning the visiting team scores to take the lead. The starting pitcher for the visiting team does not return and is replaced in the bottom of the final inning after his team has taken the lead. Who gets the win the starter or the reliever who came in after his team took the lead? Thanks
