Problem with Saves?

Since when does an 7-2 ball game constitute as a save?

I thought it was only a max 3 run difference when a pitcher enters a game.

I switched pitchers in the bottom of the 7th, as you'll see I scored a run in the top of the 7th to go 7-2 up, my pitcher then pitched the bottom of the 7th, 8th & 9th and ended up with a save

I went on to win 8-2 but the game was 7-2 when the pitcher entered the game, surely he shouldn't have been classed with the save as it wasn't a save opportunity in my understanding of baseball, I may be wrong though.
