Why no save?
Not that he's on any of my teams but why wasn't Francisco Cordero credited with a save last night?He came into the game with 1 out in the 9th inning with the Reds leading 6-3.

Why no save?
you have to pitch at least 1 inning with a lead of 3 runs or less, or you have to enter the game with the tying run on deck.
