Here's the official rule from mlb regarding saves.
SAVES FOR RELIEF PITCHERS
10.20
Credit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: (1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and (2) He is not the winning pitcher; and (3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions: (a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or (b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or (c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.
Did the Dodgers have any runners on base? If not, by the way I read the rule, he did not qualify for the save.
rule 3a. he needs to pitch one inning for the 3 run rule alone to qualify him.
In your case he only pitched 2\3 of an inning.
rule 3b. He needs the tying run to at least be on deck. So for that to be the
case the Dodgers would have had to have a runner on ( runner on base, batter, and man on deck to be able to tie the game). If the bases were empty when your closer entered the game then no save situation existed so none should be scored.
