Just like how if a pitcher gets injured in the middle of an at bat, and has to be replaced by a relief pitcher, the original pitcher gets credit for whatever happens in the AB.

For example, if the relief pitcher gives up a home run, the home run is credited to the original pitcher who left in the middle of the AB. If relief pitcher gets an out, the out is credited to the original pitcher and so on.

This is incorrect. Anything but a walk is always credited to the relief pitcher. Inside section 10.16 reads the following:

[ QUOTE ]
(1) If, when pitchers are changed, the count is
2 balls, no strike,
2 balls, 1 strike,
3 balls, no strike,
3 balls, 1 strike,
3 balls, 2 strikes,
and the batter gets a base on balls, the official scorer shall charge that batter and the base on balls to the preceding pitcher, not to the relief pitcher.
(2) Any other action by such batter, such as reaching base on a hit, an error, a fielder's choice, a force-out, or being touched by a pitched ball, shall cause such a batter to be charged to the relief pitcher.
