If a lead is larger than 3 runs when a pitcher enters, then the only way you can get a save is by pitching 3 or more innings of relief.So, there are two ways to get a save:
1.Coming in and protecting a lead of 3 or less runs.
2. Pitching 3 or more innings of relief in a victory - usually seen in a blowout.
Technically, any time a relief pitcher enters the game and the save situation (types 1 or 2; 3 is innings length-based) is not in effect. In general, though, the lead is too big.

He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
He is not the winning pitcher; and
He qualifies under one of the following conditions:
He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat, or on deck; or
