It is possible, but to give you an example,m you;'d still be reading it next week.
The game would have to be delayed by rainand suspended to be resumed at a later date.
The pitcher who gave up the losing run would have to be traded to the other team, then pitch in relief and be awarded the win,
he he pitched mre effectively than any other reliever and the starter did not go 5 innings.
-
Thiswould HAVE to involve the red Sox andthe Phillies.
If something incredible and im possible happened, it would have to be one of these two teams.

No, a pitcher can't be the winning and losing pitcher.
Depending on leaague rules a pitcher could be the winning pitcher and also get a save.
He would have to be relieved earlier in the game with the lead and then come back in to finish the game.

umm... no. A pitcher could be qualified to be the winning pitcher of the game, give up the lead and then be the losing pitcher but they can't be both the winning and losing pitcher in the same game.

Actually, yes, it's vaguely possible. Let's call our guy Able Baker, on the roster of the Astros as they visit the Bears one day.
Ashland is the starting pitcher for the Astros. The Bears get 3 runs in the bottom of first inning off him; Able Baker relieves and throws the 2nd-8th innings, giving up one run. At this point, the game is suspended due to rain, to be completed later in the season.
Before that day comes, Baker is traded to the Bears. In the top of the ninth, closer Abernathy gives up another run.
Now Baker comes to the mound with a 4-1 lead. Abernathy is due to bat; the Astros pull him for pinch-hitter Allen, who starts with a double. Baker then gives up a single, a walk, and a grand slam, ending the game.
------
Since Baker gave up the winning run, he's the losing pitcher for the Bears.
For the Astros, there was no pitcher of record when the game was won (Allen pinch-hit for Abernathy, and Ashland left after only one inning). The official scorer notes that of the three pitchers for the Astros, Ashland gave up 3 runs in one inning, Abernathy gave up one run in one inning, and Baker gave up one run in 7 innings. The scorer deems that of the two eligible pitchers, Baker contributed the most to the win, and declares him the winning pitcher for the Astros.

No. The team either wins or loses the game.

No it is not possible. You can't win and lose a game at the same time.

norcekri:
If I read your example correctly, there is one problem. Once Baker was replaced by Abernathy, he was removed from the game. Rules prohibit a player from re-entering a game from which he has been removed, even if he has been moved to the other roster.

Yes, starting pitcher goes 8 solid shutout innings as the manager visits him at the mound to lift him with a comfortable lead, the catcher tells the pitcher he's sleeping with his wife.
