I always thought a save was awarded based off of # of outs left vs # of runs ahead. Nope.

SECTION 26—
Save
If a relief pitcher meets ALL of the following conditions, the
official scorer should credit that pitcher with a save:
a. He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;
b. He is not credited with the win; and
c. He meets one of the following conditions:
(1) He enters the game with a lead of not more than three
runs and pitches at least one inning;
(2) He enters the game with the potential tying run on base,
at bat or on deck; or
(3) He pitches effectively for at least three innings
