On average, MLB teams use about 4 to 5 pitchers per 9 innings in a game. This number can vary based on factors like game situation, pitcher performance, and managerial strategies. With the increasing emphasis on specialized roles, such as relief pitchers and matchups, the trend has been toward using more pitchers in a game.
Are there any limits on how many innings a pitcher can pitch, in one game? Not in any official rules. In a MLB game on 1920 May 5, both pitchers threw for 26 innings. The game was called due to darkness with the score still 1 to 1.
The longest MLB game by innings was on May 1, 1920 between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves and lasted 26 innings. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.
There is a total of nine innings in a game of baseball. However, if the game is tied at the end of nine innings, then the game can go into extra innings.
The rule stating that a starting pitcher must complete at least five innings to be credited with a win was officially enacted in 1980. This rule was designed to ensure that a starting pitcher has a significant impact on the game's outcome before being awarded a win. Prior to this rule, pitchers could receive a win even if they did not pitch a minimum number of innings.
A normal baseball game has 9 innings, but if the game is tied at the end of 9, they will continue playing until they end an inning without being tied. Lets say it is 9-9 at the end of 9. They play he 10th and the Red Sox score and they are the home team, they win the game 10-9

Supposing that all four runs were earned runs and it is a nine inning game, the ERA is 4.5... Earned runs divided by innings pitched multiplied by the the total innings of a standard game (4/8 * 9 = 4.5)

Nine, but innings can be adjusted according to how many pitches the pitchers are supposed to be getting in. They don't play more than one extra inning, and sometimes they just call it a tie after the ninth, if both teams are out of pitchers.

A typical baseball game consists of 9 innings. In baseball statistics, "IP" stands for innings pitched, which measures the number of innings a pitcher has played in a game.

ERA stands for Earned Run Average. The number of innings per game determines how ERA is calcuated. In Major League Baseball they play 9 innings so ERA is calculated with this equation, Earned Runs divided by 9. High School baseball (at least where I am located) plays 7 innings as a regulation length game. In this case a pitcher's ERA is Earned Runs divided by 7. In Little League the a regulation game is 6 innings, so ERA would be determined by Earned Runs divided by 6. If you are playing a game and it goes in to extra innings then a pitcher's ERA is not affected by the extra innings. If a regulation game is 6 innings, and the game goes into the seventh inning, then a pitcher's ERA is still determined by # of earned runs divided by 6. In summary ERA is ALWAYS determined by the amount of Earned Runs allowed divided by the number of innings played (not including extra innings).
