It goes both ways. I recall a game quite a few years ago for the braves. I think steve avery was pitching but maybe denny nagel. Anyways he was hit by a line drive by the first batter and had to leave the game. Of course that runner scores later that inning and the starting pitcher ended up with the loss.

A pitcher could pitch into the 8th inning with 2 outs tied 0-0 and allow the bases to be loaded then a relief pitch could come in get 1 K and that RP would be in line for the win. Not the starting pitcher.

Since the relief pitcher allowed the game to be tied. The starting pitcher ends up with a "no decision" in the case of the OP.

In fantasy baseball, it's a double edge sword if your closer gets a "blown save" but still gets the win. ERA will suck but you still managed to get something positive from it.
