ATLANTA (AP)- Manny Acosta lost a save today when an official
scorer realized he mistakenly awarded one in the previous night following the Atlanta Braves' 5-2 win over the San Diego Padres.

Acosta, the Braves' fill-in closer with Rafael Soriano on the disabled list, entered with a 5-2 lead Wednesday after Will Ohman got the first out of the ninth inning. Soriano retired Callix Crabbe and Khalil Greene to end the game.

Braves official scorer Jack Wilkinson awarded Acosta his third save, and the save was included on the boxscore and postgame report.

The save was removed following a review by the commissioner's office and the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball's statistician.

To qualify for the save, Acosta would have had to start the inning with a three-run lead or enter the game with the potential tying run on base, at the plate or on deck.
