Then there's a line drive to the 3rd baseman. Then a double play, ending teh inning at 4-0. I keep my closer in for the 9th (endurance: 32/100, and the next day off, so ya know...)
Now, since there was a runner in scoring position in a realtively close game, should'nt he have a save? I know the rule says if another pitcher comes in with 3 runs or less....still....just wanted to be more clear on that

No, not a save situation. In order for it to be a save situation, the tying run would've had to be on deck, and in a 4-0 lead and only one baserunner, it isn't. One more baserunner and it would've been a save situation.
