No more than 3. He can also earn the save for pitching the last 3 complete innings.If someone was to break Cy Young's all time win record, should MLB rename the trophy?

I had this question couple of weeks ago, so I'll just cut and paste.A save is credited to a pitcher who fulfills the following three conditions:
1--The pitcher is the last pitcher in a game won by his team;
2--The pitcher is not the winning pitcher (for instance, if a starting pitcher throws a complete game win or, alternatively, if the pitcher gets a blown save and then his team scores a winning run while he is the pitcher of record, sometimes known as a "vulture win");
3--The pitcher fulfills at least one of the following three conditions:
3a--He comes into the game with a lead of no more than three runs.
3b--He comes into the game with the potential tying run being either on base, at bat, or on deck.
3c--He pitches for at least three innings after entering the game with a lead.
If the pitcher surrenders the lead at any point, he cannot get a save, but he is the winning pitcher if his team comes back to win. No more than one save may be credited in each game.
If a relief pitcher satisfies all of the criteria for a save, except he does not finish the game, he will often be credited with a hold.

Without putting runners on himself, the tieing run must be on deck.Just a little Rangers trivia...Joaquin Benoits only career save was a major league record setting 7 innings of no runs 1 hit ball on September 3, 2002 against the Baltimore Orioles.
