Incorrect awarded pitching loss

Started my 2020 60 game season today. Tigers vs Reds. Raisel Iglesias blew the save in the 9th and the Tigers tied it at 5. Went to the 10th and of course with the new rule, the Tigers had a runner on second. Michael Lorenzen was the new pitcher who started the 10th for the Reds.Miguel Cabrera hit a line drive to right to score a run. Eventually, the Tigers went on to win 8-5 in 10.

However, Raisel Iglesias was awarded the loss when it should have been Lorenzen. According to this article, "A new rule in 2020, each team begins every frame in extra innings with a runner on second base. If that runner scores, it is an unearned run but the pitcher receives the loss if his team can’t respond." (https://www.mlb.com/news/indians-exp...ra-inning-rule)

From the game's perspective, Iglesias was the pitcher when the runner was placed on second base.

This is a known issue.
