Winning Pitcher - Starter/Relief

[rghill76]

Situation: We're the away team and I pitch 6 complete innings. The score is tied at this point. In the top of the inning we score a run and take the lead. A relief pitcher comes on and holds that 1 run lead until the end of the game. Is the relief pitcher the "pitcher of record" when we take the lead? I believe the relief pitcher gets the win in this situation because I only pitched us to a tie game. Rule 10.19 doesn't clarify how to determine "pitcher of record".

Why would you ask the umpire that question?

Rule 10 has nothing to do with umpiring.

[Rich Ives]

You get the win - the team went ahead before the reliever came in so you were officially the pitcher then.

[Coach&Blue]

Rich is right, you are the pitcher of record and the relief pitcher gets a save.
