Yes. Regardless of what the final score is, if the pitcher's team does not tie or take the lead after being removed he is credited with the loss.

If the starting pitcher is relieved in the 3rd inning and his team is ahead at that time who gets the win the starting pitcher or the reliever?

it all depends. if the starting pitcher goes 5ins or more and leaves the game with the lead he is in-titled to the win. the way the closer gets the win is if he goes in tied or losing and he is the last one to throw a pitch before his team takes the lead and wins the game.


What considerations does umpire use to judge the winning pitcher of a game?

In the event that a winning team's Starting Pitcher is removed from a game before he can pitch the necessary 5 innings to qualify for a win and his team never gives up the lead or never lets the opposing team tie the score then the decision on the Winning Pitcher is at the home team's official scorer's discretion, the field umpires have nothing to do with the decision. According to the rules the official scorer has to make a judgment call on which pitcher pitched the best or most effectively when coming into the game.


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.


When does a pitcher get charged for the win?

yes, if he is the starting pitcher he has to go a minimum of 5 innings and his team has to be leading when he exits the game and never lose their lead and win the game. A pitcher can win in relief if he comes in when the game is tied or his team is losing, and his team rallies after he pitches and win the game, but they can't give up their lead after he pitches or he won't get the win someone else will get the win

What must a pitcher accomplish in order to obtain a win?

A starting pitcher must complete five innings to be considered for the win, if he leaves the game with the lead his team MUST never relinquish the lead, the score can increase, but the lead cannot be forfeited. ie. after 5 innings, it is 2-1 for the home team. The starting pitcher leaves, home team scores two more runs, visitors THEN score two more runs, game ends. Starting pitcher still leaves. Other than that a reliever can get a win even if he pitches just 1/3 of an inning just as long as the lead isn't relinquished. BUT the scorer can give the win to somebody else if the WIN was clearly undeserved. ie. starting pitcher pitches 8 innings, leading with a lead of 9-1, reliever comes in gives up a lot of runs, it is now 10-9 and the reliver stands to get the loss, BUT the home team pulls it off in the 9th to win it 11-10, well, in that case, the scorer MIGHT give the win to the starter.
