no one decides, it's decided based on the who the pitcher is when the winning team takes the lead and continues the lead until the end of the game.

I guess it would be the official score keeper, but basically after the 5th inning who ever was the last pitcher to pitch when his team took the lead in the game is the winner.
However if for example a pitcher leaves a game and his team is winning 5-3, then his team takes an 8-3 lead, and wins the game 8-6, he doesn't get the win because the opposing team scored more runs then he had when he left the game. So in that instance the pitcher who last pitched before the team got the 7th run would be the winner.
The pitcher who gets the loss would be the other way around, who ever was pitching when the opposing team scored the run that wins the game gets he loss. It doesn't matter if that's in the 1st inning or the 9th.

The official scorer decides, but there are well-defined guidelines (MLB Rule 10.17) which spells out the winning and losing pitcher. The OS does have one small amount of discretion available to him under rare circumstances, when the starter does not go the 5 IP minimum but leaves with a lead which is not relinquished, and there is more than one subsequent reliever; in this case, the OS must assign the W to the reliever he deems was most effective. Other than this one exception, it's all a matter of which pitchers were the "pitchers of record" when the lead was taken the last time in the game.

a tumbler that does no longer end the sport as an entire pastime starter or as a alleviation pitcher won't be able to flow away the sport while it relatively is tied or his team is at the back of. in the present day, the sport grow to be tied while Halladay left the sport. Whoever grow to be the pitcher going into the 10th inning in the present day grow to be the prevailing pitcher as they have been the pitcher of checklist while the Blue Jays scored their 2 runs interior the 10th inning. on an analogous time as Janssen pitcher longer, he left the sport earlier the Blue Jays scored so he have been given no longer something (no win, no save, no carry). If an analogous pitcher persevered to stand the Tigers interior the backside of the 10th, he would are transforming into the win; no one would be credited with a save. If yet another pitcher closed the sport (like Ryan did) they might get the save. Edit-- As pronounced under, the starter could pitch 5 innings to qualify for a win. He does no longer could get any outs to get the loss. LOL

One thing to add to the previous answer. A starting pitcher must pitch at least 5 innings to be credited with a win, even if he leaves the game with his team in the lead.
