A blown save is defined as entering a game with a 1-3 run lead (or 4 or 5, in certain instances). (There is also the three-inning rule, but that isn't relevant to this conversation.) If a reliever enters an 8-6 lead in the 5th inning and gives up the lead, then that would be a blown save.
EDIT: This is not an OOTP rule. This is how blown saves are calculated IRL.
