How do you determine the winning pitcher when the starting pitcher leaves before completing the 5th inning?
The win goes to the relief pitcher (assuming there was more than one relief pitcher) whom the official scorer feels was most instrumental in the victory. That relief pitcher must pitch at least 1 full inning, or pitch a crucial out if he pitches less than one inning.
How many warm up pitches does a minor league relief pitcher get upon entering the game?

How many innings does a starting pitcher have to pitch to get a win in the MLB?
There is no way to tell the exact average, but there is usually 1 starter for each team, a relief pitcher, and the closer. So about 6 total. -----The number of pitches would depend on many factors, but usually there is a minimum of at least 200 pitches in a game. High scoring games or those with a lot of walks could approach or even pass 300 pitches.
