In the attached box score and play by play you'll see that the loss was incorrectly assigned. MLB rules state that the pitcher that allowed the winning run to get on base is given the loss. In this case, the winning run (Greene) was allowed on base by Strickland. Although Walker was on the mound when the winning run scored, Strickland should be assigned the loss. Walker, in this case should be assigned a blown save.
Please correct this as soon as possible. I believe it's pretty important to get the decisions awarded correctly. Please also show in the box score when a pitcher is assigned a blown save.
Correction: Walker should not be given a blown save because the game was tied when he entered. However, the loss was still incorrectly assigned.
Thank you,
