I noticed this problem with my losing pitcher in the May 16, 2019 game in FastSim6 between my Cardinals and Cincinatti. Cody gave up the hits leading to the lead runs for Cincy, but did not give up any runs himself. According to what I think should hapen, Rosoff should get the loss, not Cody.

None of Cody's batters scored and all of the previous runners were not his, and should be credited to the pitcher who put them on base. So, the error here is two fold:
1) it gave a run to Cody that he didn't earn
2) even if Cody did give up a run, it was Rosoff's run that gave up the lead. If the score was never re-tied then Rosoff is responsible for the loss, regardless of how many runs the successive pitchers give up.
