Yes, say it's 6-2 Mets over astros going into the 8th then the Mets blow the lead and the Astros are winning 8-6 but in the top of the ninth the mets rally and win that reliever who blew the game originally would get the win as long as he was in the game when the mets took the lead in the ninth.

Is it possible to be the winning and losing pitcher in a game?
Yes, although highly unlikely. Such a feat would require a pitcher being the last person to pitch for his team in a suspended game. That pitcher would then need to be traded to the other team involved in the suspended game. Before another pitcher pitches for his original team, the pitcher would need to enter the game and give up enough runs so that his new team is losing (this would only work if they were originally leading or tied). The lead would have to be preserved, such that he pitcher is still the pitcher of record for his old team and gets the win but is also now the pitcher of record for his new team and so gets the loss as well. Normally, in order to win you must be pitching at the time your team wins or the last pitcher to pitch when your team gains the lead. If you give up the lead, and your team cannot get it back, you will be the losing pitcher. If you are pitching when your team loses the lead, but your team does tie or gain the lead, it is concidered a 'no decision' and you will not record a win or a loss.

yes.

The pitcher and the rest of the team.
What happens when a pitcher leaves losing but the team wins?
The pitcher will have a "no decision" (neither a win nor a loss). In the case where the pitcher leaves for a pinch hitter, and the team rallies to take the lead and hold it for the remainder of the game, that pitcher would be the winning pitcher, provided he pitched the required 5 innings.
Can a relief pitcher receive credit for a hold if his team loses?
