Four consecutive innings if she is the starting pitcher. There's no minimum number required for relief pitchers.
Ryan Franklin, Bobby Seay, Todd Williams, Tim Young, Chris George, Rick Krivda, and Shane Heams.
The Phillies top 4 starters in 1980 were Steve Carlton, Dick Ruthven, Bob Walk, and Randy Lerch. Their closer was Tug McGraw. Other pitchers who played in 25 or more games were Ron Reed, Dickie Noles, Kevin Saucier, Warren Brusstar, and Lerrin LaGrow.
The official scorer still decides who is the winning pitcher in instances that are not covered by the baseball scoring rules (Rule 10.19). This occurs only for relief pitchers.
As a general rule, there are less left handed pitchers. So lefties face lefties less often and have less at-bats to adjust to them. There are probably other reasons also.

All closers are relief pitchers. So, yes!

The bullpen
i think it was the 3rd inning Relief pitchers have, on occasion, replaced starting pitchers before the latter has gotten a single batter out. Sometimes the starter just has a REALLY bad day.

On average, there are about 11 to 13 pitchers on every Major League team. There are, on average, 5 starting pitchers, a closer (last-resort pitcher), a set-up pitcher (a pitcher who throws while the closer is still warming up, also the backup closer), 2 long relief pitchers (1st inning through 4th inning backup), and 3 middle relief pitchers (5th inning through early 8th inning backup). The starting pitchers are the pitchers that start pitching in the 1st inning. The pitching rotation is the order of determining what starter will start. The rest of the pitchers make up the bullpen.

SVO stands for Save Opportunities, and is a statistic tracked for relief pitchers.
