Yes they might.

To get a win the starting pitcher has got to toss a minimum of 5 innings and leave with the lead.

To get a save a pitcher basically needs to finish the game off to be credited with 'saving' the lead if it is 3 runs or less.

Meh, just don't seem like a particularly telling statistic to me thats all.

In reference to the Nathan one batter, one out, save. Why did the guy who got the first 2 outs not get the save? In reality he did more to 'save' the game than Nathan did
