The last time it happened in MLB was in the 2009 season in a game between the Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies. Alan Embree of the Rockies was brought in with 2 outs in the top of the 8th inning and the score tied at 4. He picked Austin Kearns of the Nats off first for the third out before throwing a pitch to the batter. He was pinch hit for in the bottom of the 8th and the Rockies scored a run to take a 5-4 lead. Huston Street came in to pitch the top of the 9th and got the save.
B. J. Ryan of the Baltimore Orioles won a game without throwing a pitch against the Detroit Tigers on May 1, 2003. He was brought in with 2 out in the bottom of the 7th with the score tied at 2. He picked the runner off first base for the third out before throwing a pitch to the batter. The Orioles scored in the top of the eighth, Ryan was replaced, and the Orioles wound up winning 5-2.

This can be the case for any starting pitcher whether his team is winning, losing, tied at the time he exits the game. Basically the term "No Decision" is used for a starting pitcher that does not record a Win or Loss at the end of the day. This could be because he didnt pitch through the 5th inning making him the official pitcher of record, or it could be any other combination in which the events occurring after he leaves the game makes it to where another pitcher gets the win or loss

If your team goes ahead in the top of the inning and a new pitcher goes in in the bottom of the inning - which pitcher gets the win - the starting pitcher or the 2nd pitcher?
The pitcher who got the last out in the previous bottom of that inning. In other word, that pitcher can be credited with the win by making only one pitch. If I'm called in as a reliever and get a ground out to end the inning and then my team goes ahead in the top of the next inning, I would be the winning pitcher. Even if i only threw one pitch.
