Last night Tigers pitcher Chad Durbin pitched 3 innings for his first career save. He also hit a SF for his first career RBI. Who was the last player with an RBI and a save in the same game?
If you're really into it, who was the last player to have his first career save and first career RBI in the same game?
I tried baseball-reference.com's game finder but they seperate pitching and batting stats so I'm totally lost.

I have no idea what the correct answer is so your guess is as good as mine.

Don't know if he was the last but on 6/19/2004 Jason Isringhausen had a save and knocked in two runs with a single.

Was Danny Graves, that once he hit a homer against the Astros????Danny Graves had 2 homers and 3 RBI's in his career. On 5/12/00 he hit a home run against Houston in a 7-3 eleven inning victory. The homer came in the 11th following a 3-run shot by Pokey Reese which broke the 3 to 3 tie. Graves got the win in this game.
His other homer came on 6/21/01 also against Houston. He came in to pitch in the 3rd inning and worked through the 5th. His homer came in the 4th inning in a game eventually won by the Reds in 11 innings. Graves did not factor in the decision.

Since Hoyt Wilhelm homered in his first career AB...did he happen to record a save that game?
Baseball Reference doesn't have game log data before 1957 and Wilhelm's first game was '52 so I couldn't check it out.
