Are you sure about that?

That would not be true if the SP was lifted for an injury after walking the first batter. Even if he was charged for the one earned run, if the next pitcher gives up 15 ERs, I'm certain the reliever would get the loss, not the starter.

But, I'm too tired and lazy to look that up right now.
