First off, congrats to the Giants and Bumgardner. Not to be a killjoy, but how does he get a win when Affeldt was not a starter, and Affeldt was in the game when the Giants took the lead, and was effective? (a) The official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, unless (1) such pitcher is a starting pitcher and Rule 10.17(b) applies; or (2) Rule 10.17© applies. 17(b) doesn't apply. That's about a starting pitcher who doesn't go 5 and leaves with his team leading. 17© doesn't apply either. That's says another reliever can get the win when the reliever in the game at the time his team took the lead was ineffective. Not true in Affeldt's case.
