Why didn’t urias get the win?
I know bueller didn’t go 5, so he doesn’t get the win...
But why didn’t urias? And why did it go to Maddox?
Scorer’s decision.
Madson was the more effective reliever.

Wow.
Been following baseball for 20+ years and never knew it was up to the “scorer”
I thought urias would get the win. Since he came in after the starter.
I can’t think of another mlb game where who got the win came down to the scorer?
Is the criteria, “if the starting pitcher doesn’t got 5 innings, the win will be rewarded to whoever deemed most important to the win”?
Truest never seen this before
Yeah. I looked this up when you asked and asked around. Re-reading it, I answered it like I was just in the know. LMAO. I had to dig for this answer because I was as perplexed as you.
So, take my answer with a grain of salt given that information but I'm pretty sure it's correct after that.
Rule 10.17(b) Comment: It is the intent of Rule 10.17(b) that a relief pitcher pitch at least one complete inning or pitch when a crucial out is made, within the context of the game (including the score), in order to be credited as the winning pitcher. If the first relief pitcher pitches effectively, the official scorer should not presumptively credit that pitcher with the win, because the rule requires that the win be credited to the pitcher who was the most effective, and a subsequent relief pitcher may have been most effective. The official scorer, in determining which relief pitcher was the most effective, should consider the number of runs, earned runs and base runners given up by each relief pitcher and the context of the game at the time of each relief pitchers appearance. If two or more relief pitchers were similarly effective, the official scorer should give the presumption to the earlier pitcher as the winning pitcher.
