CG question

[twan83]

I am new to fantasy baseball and baseball pretty much as a whole, I was wondering does the SP get the complete game if he pitches 9 INN and the games goes into extra innings. IE dontrelle willis tonight pitched 9 INN gave up the go ahead run in the 9th but still completed the 9th.

Thanks.

The game is not complete if he goes 9 but the play continues onward.

No CG.

Ok thanks just trying to see if I would get rewarded for the game Dontrelle pitched tonight I suppose that state line will do.

Ya, don't think number of inning determines complete game. just like pitching 8 innings in an away game and looses, still CG, but didn't get the 9 innings.

That's right. 'Complete game' just means the pitcher pitched the entirety of an official game. I've seen several times where a game gets rained out after 5 innings, but both pitchers get credited with a complete game (even the losing one) if they hadn't been yanked yet.
