Assignment of win to starter?
The situation is this: in playing a spring training game, my starting pitcher completed 3 innings, allowing 2 runs (both earned). After 3 innings of play I led 5-2. My next pitcher pitched 2 innings and allowed 0 runs, after which I was up 14-2. My third pitcher pitched the final four innings and allowed 2 runs (1 earned) for a final score of 19-4. What I am curious about is this: my starting pitcher, having left the game with a lead, was awarded the win; my second pitcher, a hold; my last, a save (for 3+ innings of work). But since my starter pitched less than 5 innings, shouldn't the win go to the reliever? Is this a bug?
