Ok, perhaps this has just completely gone over my head over the years but, how does Livan Henandez get the loss today?

He leaves in the 7th after giving up a hit in a tied game.

Reliever comes in and promptly gives up the run.

I understand that it's Livan's earned run, but the loss is on him as well?

This is prolly a dumb question and i swear i'm not a baseball/fantasy baseball noob, but i'm just kinda perplexed by this.

ESPN has him as the LP too, so I'm going with cause it's his run he's on the hook for the L too.

yes, as long as the game was never tied after that.

he officially left the game with the other team in the lead since that last run counted against him, so he gets the loss.

Yea, that's what i figured. I guess i just never saw it with my own eyes or ever paid attention.

It's playoff time so i'm paying attention to every pitch.
