Good question. Possibly a trick question?
The w% seasonal record is generally acknowledged to be Roy Face, who went 18-1 (.947) in 1959 for Pittsburgh.
The highest w% by a Detroit pitcher, that I can find, is .862 (25-4) by Bill Donovan in 1907. But there are others, starters mostly, who have a higher winning percentage; Donovan's effort ranks 22nd.
Dennis Lamp went 11-0 in 1986 for Toronto; that may be the biggest perfect W-L record in history.

Hi, I don't think any pitcher will, with an average 32.4 starts per year they would need to have over 11 K's per game. Unless a pitcher can go 8-9 innings every game then the 383 is tough enough to catch. The high salaries & how the game has changed as far as pitching specialists from the 7th inning on prevent them from a complete game.

Based on how many decisions?
Because Roy Face has the record, having gone 18-1 in 1959:

The closest any Tiger has come was in 1984 when Aurelio Lopez went 10-1 in 1984.

Good old Chip boy beat me to the punch (again).
It is indeed Bill Donavan in 1907 with an .862 (25-4)
