Save given to pitcher who wasn't in the game

Using patched version...

A. Rajanna, Milwaukee's closer, relieved starting pitcher P. Tippett in the 9th inning with a 5-2 lead and retired the side (ground out, flyout, strikeout).

But he gets credit for a Hold instead of the save. Pitcher D. Kasper gets credit for the save!

According to the linescore, Rajanna threw 8 pitches--instead of 9 as shown in the game log-- and Kasper is credited for one pitch thrown, but no batters faced. (I checked the game log and Kasper was never mentioned as entering the game at any time.)

Raidergoo...bleary eyed though I may be, I did find another instance of a pitcher not getting a save due to a phantom appearance...

EDIT: Interesting that it happened against the same team...hmmm....
