However, 10.20(2) clearly says that the same guy cannot earn the save. While Tony Fossas certainly pitched well enough in the attached game to earn the win, either he should have earned the win and no save, or (as more likely would have happened IRL) either Rusty Meacham or John Smoltz should been credited with the win.
