The reason the game credits the wrong winning pitcher is because the user is forced to put a new pitcher in even though his team is now hitting. That pitcher immediately becomes the pitcher of record before his team begins its turn at bat. His team then takes the lead, making the new pitcher the pitcher of record, when (if OOTP followed MLB rules), the injured pitcher would still be in the game and therefore the pitcher of record.
Rule 3.05 was brought into the discussion (by me) when someone said he likes to pinch hit for his starter in the top of the first. Rule 3.05 prohibits that, but as others have posted, OOTP does not follow that.

I see your point and will mentally relegate this problem to the realm of life's insoluble quandaries, like Fermat's Last Theorem.
