Well, the team can lead by up to 5 runs for a save opportunity, if the bases are loaded when the reliever comes in (the tying run would be on deck, then), but I get your point, and my thinking goes along the same lines. Still, maybe somebody knows for sure.
Anyway, if we're correct, the upshoot would be that a player can have such a terrible relief outing that he's not even worthy of getting a blown save for it.
