Wrong pitcher takes L - two times
-
I have played two solitaire games in the last day or two where a reliever entered the game with a lead and then gave up a go-ahead 2-run HR. The starter was charged w/ the tying run, the reliever was properly charged with the go-ahead run, but the starter got the loss!

And another one - in this case the starter was properly charged with just 2 runs, but took the loss after the first reliever let another man on and the second reliever gave up a 3R.-homer. Final score a 4-3 loss, with the Loss hung on the guy who left the game up 2 with one runner on. Interesting because a lot of managers would let a starter pitch the 9th but will take him out BEFORE HE CAN TAKE A LOSS.
