Carlos Marmol

of the Cubs was credited with a save tonight for pitching 1.1 innings, giving up two hits, two walks and three earned runs in a 5-4 win. Apparently he got the last out of the eighth with the potential tying or winning run on deck (one of the prerequisites for a save),  then crapped the bed in the ninth but still finished the game (another prerequisite).

Somehow, I don't think the rule was intended to reward an outing this bad, but there you go.

I probably need some more words to get this to go up, so here they are: words words words words words ...
