How is this a Save?

Rockies at the Twins last night. Freeland pitches 6 innings and gets the win. Holland comes in the bottom of the 9th with the Rockies ahead 7-3, Twins have one man on base. Holland faces one batter, gets the out and is credited with his 17th save.

i believe if a guy comes in with a guy on base and a 4 run lead, then thats a save.

Box score shows Holland inherited 2 runners meaning the tying run was on deck meaning it's a save.

There were 2 men on base. If you add up the 2 men on base plus the guy at bat plus the guy on deck, you get 4 which counts for a save.

If the potential tying run is 'in the hole' then it's a save situation.
So, with one runner on, a 4-run lead is a save situation.
Also can get a save for pitching the final 3 innings of a win, regardless of the score.
ETA: It's actually the potential tying run on deck, not in the hole, my bad. Like said, there were two runners on base, not one.

On deck not in the hole.

This is pretty asinine. Say you come in with the score tied and one out in the eighth. You get out the inning and your team scores once in the top of the ninth. You then slam the door in the bottom of the inning. Why shouldn't you get the win AND the save?

That's like tossing the ball off the backboard for a dunk and trying to get an assist and 2 points.
