A no decision is given to a starting pitcher who does not get credit for either a win or a loss for that game. A starting pitcher may come out for a relief pitcher with the score tied. Only the pitchers in the game when the final go-ahead run is scored get credit for a win or loss.

Does the pitcher get to keep the stats in a no decision game if the pitcher never finishes the game?

A no-decision simply means the pitcher did not earn a win or loss because the game was decided after their exit.

The pitcher will have a "no decision" (neither a win nor a loss). In the case where the pitcher leaves for a pinch hitter, and the team rallies to take the lead and hold it for the remainder of the game, that pitcher would be the winning pitcher, provided he pitched the required 5 innings.
Pitcher gets a no decision instead of a loss or win?
A pitcher receives a no decision when they perform well enough to potentially earn a win but do not finish the game, typically because the game is tied or the lead changes after they leave.

Essentially, a no decision reflects a game's outcome that leaves the pitcher's contribution unresolved in terms of victory or defeat. This scenario ensures that a pitcher's performance is recognized without directly impacting their win-loss record.

Once the pitcher makes the decision to try to get the out you may attempt to return to the base you came from.
