The Tigers team record for most strikeouts in a game by a pitcher is 16 by Mickey Lolich. He struckout 16 California Angels on May 23, 1969 and 16 Seattle Pilots on June 9, 1969.
Steve Carlton with 19 strikeouts on September 15, 1969 against the NY Nets.
His team has to record 27 outs while he was the pitcher of record.
A pitcher who doesn't get an out in the 1st inning and who is pulled from the game is still considering the starting pitcher. He will be listed this way on the team spreadsheet and roster.
For a nine inning perfect game the pitcher would record 27 outs (3 outs in each of the 9 innings).

The jersey number of the Pitcher.If the game is still in progress, that number is of the pitcher currently in the game. If the game is over, that number is of the pitcher that was the winner/loser of the 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.
