Reply to "Did the right pitcher get the win?"

This just happened to my son (relief pitcher) and I questioned that he got the win.  In a 9 inning game, the starting pitcher has to pitch at least 5 innings to get the win. It is discretionary to the scorekeeper as to who gets the win based upon which relief pitcher was most effective. Since the RP#1 pitched two innings, regardless of how effective he was not, I bet the scorekeeper gave him the win because he pitched two innings and the team was still up by 2 at the end of the game.  I think I got this right, but I always stand ready to be corrected.
