What am I missing? The starter Paxton went 4 innings. He isn't eligible for the Win. 

Green pitched the 5th. The Yankees were winning. The Yankees never surrendered the lead. Why didn't Green get the win?

If the starter does not go 5, then it is an "official scorer's judgement" who gets the W

Thank You!

Just so weird because with a big lead I thought they would go with the guy that pitched the 5th and call it a day. I guess the scorer said none of you guys did all that much. So we will give it to the guy that pitched two innings.

It is a wildly inconsistent rule. I have seen pitchers  leave after 4 innings, say with a 4 run lead, and the next pitcher comes in pitches 2 innings, gives up 3 runs and get awarded the win.

It is going to happen more and more now that we are in the era of "openers".
