Screwed up MLB scoring rule

[BobHarvey]

Clayton Kershaw leaves the game with a 4-2 lead and two runners on base. Kwo comes in and gives up a hit allowing both runners to score before getting the final out. leaving Kershaw with a no-decision. The Dodgers come back in the bottom of the 7th and take the lead meaning Kwo stands to pick up the win.

Dumb rule. They need to change that.

Good point, that the guy trusting the bully to hold their lead gets jobbed in those situations. The reliever who blew the lead doesn't "deserve" the win, but who gets it? Life isn't fair but there's no crying in baseball...Kwo owes Kershaw a fat steak dinner.

Kershaw shouldn't have put 2 guys on for the reliever.

Not a dumb rule. They don't need to change it. They are not going to change it.

But just for the sake of argument...

How do you think they should change it?

The earned runs don't show up for kuo. He did blow it pretty bad though. In hindsight Kershaw probably wouldn't have 2 runs added to his e.r.a. if he had finished the inning out. not totally his fault or fair that he looks like a worse pitcher because of another pitcher
