	Can someone explain how that was a save for Acosta? Didn't the same thing happen about a week ago and he didn't get a save? It was against the Mets - Ring came in pitched and got the first batter out. Acosta came in and got the final out. Score was 6-3.

	to get a save you have to come into the game after the 5th inning. your team must be in the lead by no more than 3 runs. your team cannot surrender the lead including ties at anypoint. so yeah you can get a save even if you come in the game with an 0-2 count on the last batter. all you have to do is get the last man out without giving up the lead

	A save is given if a pitcher comes into the game and will face a batter who potentially could be the tying run. A pitcher can get a save and only throw one pitch and his team is up by no more than 3 runs but only if there are two runners on.

	Yeah, there has to be a runner in scoring postion is what I thought it was. Sometimes the team can have a lead by 4-5 runs and have bases loaded then a pitcher come in and get a save from that.

	The official scorer messed up and awarded him a save. MLB took it away. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3386992 Go Braves!!!

	Qpappa is right. Again though the pitcher must face the potential tying run, so if the team is up by 5 runs and the bases loaded, he must get atleast two outs.
