    The starter gets the loss. The pitcher who is responsible for the run that gave the winning team the lead they never relinquished is the pitcher of record. The winning team never gave up the lead after the starter left the game.

    Rule 10.17(d) A losing pitcher is a pitcher who is responsible for the run that gives the winning team a lead that the winning team does not relinquish.
