[USML Announce] An Interesting Way to Avoid A Save (Ugh)

Chris Ray </baseball/player.htm?id=7948>  (P) BAL Ray picked up the win
Thursday against Tampa Bay even though he entered the game in the ninth
inning with the Orioles up 6-5 due to the little-known Rule 10.19 c(4)
Exception, which states, "Do not credit a victory to a relief pitcher who is
ineffective in a brief appearance," the Washington Post
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/13/AR200604130
2078.html>  reports. Jim Brower, who would have ordinarily have been the
pitcher of record, only officially faced one batter in the eighth, Jonny
Gomes, who had an RBI single before getting caught stealing to end the
inning and Brower's evening.
