PitcherA for the visitors gives up 2 runs through 5 innings, and after 5, is losing 2-1. In the top of the 6th, visitors go up 3-2. In the bottom of the 6th pitcherB comes in for the visitors and pitches the rest of the game, which ends 3-2 visitors. I guess my question is, when is A replaced and B the pitcher of record? I THINK A is the winner, because he pitched 5 full innings, and his team led before his replacement took the mound, and I THINK B gets a save. Do I think correctly?
