How many pitches does a pitcher need to be eligible for a win in 9 inning game?

Pitch count has nothing to do with eligibility to be the winning pitcher. In a scheduled 9-inning game, the starting pitcher must pitch 5 complete innings to be eligible to be the winning pitcher. Relief pitchers must be the pitcher of record when the winning team takes the lead, and never relinquishes the lead, to be the winning pitcher.

If your team goes ahead in the top of the inning and a new pitcher goes in in the bottom of the inning - which pitcher gets the win - the starting pitcher or the 2nd pitcher?

The pitcher who got the last out in the previous bottom of that inning. In other word, that pitcher can be credited with the win by making only one pitch. If I'm called in as a reliever and get a ground out to end the inning and then my team goes ahead in the top of the next inning, I would be the winning pitcher. Even if i only threw one pitch.

The pitcher who completed the bottom of the fifth gets the win. He was the pitcher of record when his team scored the run that gave his team the lead that they didn't relinquish. Even if he left the game for a pinch hitter before the run scored, the fact that he recorded the final out of the previous half-inning makes him the pitcher of record.


Will a starting pitcher still get the win if the bullpen lets the opposing team tie the game but then regains the lead later?
