Depends...if Acosta came on in the 9th alone and got three outs, then he should get the save. Also, if there were more than one runner on base, again, he would get the save. It depends on the situation that he was in entering the game. Of course, the official scorer can award a save or not basically based on what they think is the right thing (the whole 'spirit of the rules' rule).
Re-reading the glogs (I didn't get to see the game tonight), there wasn't anyone on base, so it'd fall under the spirit of the rules b/s rule. I would guess that later on MLB will probably take away the save.
