Thats what a save is. The last pitcher to protect the lead gets the save. If he gives up runs and loses the lead, its a blown save. If your a mid reliever, you can earn a hold if you do the same thing (not give up the lead), and pass it on to the closer who finishes the game and earns the save.

Lauchlin is correct. If you look at the box score you will see Marmol entered the game with 2 men on and a 4 run lead. This put the tieing run on deck and qualifies as a save situation.
