Yes, a pitcher can earn both a win and a save in the same baseball game if they enter the game in a save situation, pitch effectively, and meet the criteria for both a win and a save as defined by the official rules of Major League Baseball.

In baseball, a save is determined when a relief pitcher enters the game with a lead of three runs or fewer and finishes the game without losing the lead. This statistic reflects a pitcher's ability to preserve a win for their team. A high number of saves can indicate a pitcher's effectiveness in high-pressure situations and their value to the team.
In baseball, a successful save is achieved when a relief pitcher enters the game with a lead of three runs or fewer and finishes the game without giving up that lead.
A save is when a relief pitcher comes in with his team leading and finishes the game without giving up the lead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not all such appearances are saves. To be credited with a save, the pitcher's team must win, he must be the pitcher at the end of the game, and he must not be credited with the win. (Essentially the above answer.) But then he must qualify in one of three additional ways: (1) he pitched effectively for at least three innings; (2) he came into the game with his team leading by no more than 3 runs, and pitched at least one full inning; or (3) he entered the game with the tying run on base, at bat, or on deck.

In baseball, a save is determined when a relief pitcher enters the game with their team in the lead by three runs or less, and successfully finishes the game without giving up the lead. The criteria used to determine if a relief pitcher earns a save include entering the game with the lead, pitching at least one inning, and not giving up the lead to the opposing team.
In order to record a save under baseball rules, the following must happen: The pitcher must be the last to appear in a game won by his team. The pitcher is not the winning pitcher. The pitcher enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs, and records at least one out. He comes in with the potential tying run on base, at bat or on deck. A pitcher can also record a save by recording at least three effective innings to close out a game, at the discretion of the official scorer. Consequently, a blown save is when a pitcher enters a game in any of these situations and allows either the tying or go-ahead run to score.

A blown save in baseball occurs when a relief pitcher enters a game with his team leading, but fails to preserve the lead, allowing the opposing team to tie or take the lead. This can impact the game by shifting momentum, potentially leading to a loss for the team that had the lead.
