The rule is if a starter gives up a run and his team never comes back and takes a lead he is the pitcher of record and that was the cases today. That was the case today. I feel the same way when Jonny Venters comes in now. How a reliever does later in the game id the team does not rebound is irrelevant in the official sorcerer's eyes.
The same can be said for a starter who goes five miserable innings and dives and the bullpen shuts the other team down cold the rest of the way. That starter may not really deserve a win, but he still gets it.
Some say it evens out....some say.
