Which pitcher on a team gets the "win" if several pitchers on the same winning team pitch?

Answer 1

if one pitcher plays 5innings and then the score is 3-2 for his team and then they still win the starter gets the win however if the score is 3-2 for his team and they loose 4-3 the reliever gets the lose.if the score is 2-3 for the other team when the starter leaves and then they win the reliever gets the win.

Answer 2

This can get complicated but I will try to cover all the bases. A starting pitcher needs to pitch 5 inning to be credited with a win. If he does and his team is ahead when he leaves the game and they go on to win then he will usually get the win. The exception is if the opponents either tie the game or go ahead in that case the starting pitcher is no longer the pitcher of record. Now when the starting pitcher does not get the win it falls to the reliever who either finishes the game to a win or leaves the game while his team is ahead and his team stay ahead. Again if the opponent ties or goes ahead this reliever can not be the pitcher of record and it goes on to the next pitcher who is in the game when the team goes ahead again. Let's look at an extreme possibility. Pitcher A leaves the game in the 4th inning with his team ahead 2-0. (Injury) Since he did not pitch 5 innings he can not be the pitcher of record. Reliever B comes in and pitches two innnings and gives up a run to be replaced by pitcher C with his team still leading 2-1. Pitcher C immediately immediately gives up a run but finishes the inning with the scored tied 2-2 his team goes ahead in the bottom of the inning to be ahead 3-2. Now he pitches the 8th and gives up no runs to be leading 3-2 going into the 9th. In the 9th they bring in closer D who promptly gives up 2 runs before retiring the side. Now losing 4-3 the team comes back and wins 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th. Closer D is awarded the win.

Answer 3

The starting pitcher must go 5 innings (and have the lead) to get a win. If the other team ties or goes a head after that - no decision (win or loss) for the starting pitcher.

Answer 4

If the starting pitcher goes 5 innings or more and the team was ahead when he left, then he gets the win. If that team was behind when the starting pitcher left, the guy who was pitching when they take the final lead is usually the winning pitcher.

Answer 5

If the starting pitcher leaves after five or more innings with the lead, and the lead is never relinquished, then he will get the win. Otherwise, the win would be given to the pitcher who was in the game at the time when his team took the lead.

If the starter goes less than five innings and there are several relievers, then the scorer will give the win to the pitcher "who, in the official scorer’s judgment was the most effective."

It's all covered under Rule 10.17.

Answer 6

The pitcher who was in when his team takes the final lead, meaning the lead that holds up to win gets the win. If he's the starter then he must pitch five innings to get credit for the win.

Answer 7

As a starter, you must pitch 5 full before being awarded the win. You must be in the lead when you come out and your team has to maintain the lead until the end. Now, if your team does not keep the lead and they put a reliever in and your team scores more runs and wins, the reliever would get the win. It's basically whoever is pitching when the final "lead" is taken.

Answer 8

10.17 Winning And Losing Pitcher
(a) The official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, unless
(1) such pitcher is a starting pitcher and Rule 10.17(b) applies; or
(2) Rule 10.17(c) applies.
Rule 10.17(a) Comment: Whenever the score is tied, the game becomes a new contest insofar as the winning pitcher is concerned. Once the opposing team assumes the lead, all pitchers who have pitched up to that point and have been replaced are excluded from being credited with the victory. If the pitcher against whose pitching the opposing team gained the lead continues to pitch until his team regains the lead, which it holds to the finish of the game, that pitcher shall be the winning pitcher.
(b) If the pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, is a starting pitcher who has not completed
(1) five innings of a game that lasts six or more innings on defense, or
(2) four innings of a game that lasts five innings on defense, then the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the relief pitcher, if there is only one relief pitcher, or the relief pitcher who, in the official scorer’s judgment was the most effective, if there is more than one relief pitcher.
Rule 10.17(b) Comment: It is the intent of Rule 10.17(b) that a relief pitcher pitch at least one complete inning or pitch when a crucial out is made, within the context of the game (including the score), in order to be credited as the winning pitcher. If the first relief pitcher pitches effectively, the official scorer should not presumptively credit that pitcher with the win, because the rule requires that the win be credited to the pitcher who was the most effective, and a subsequent relief pitcher may have been most effective. The official scorer, in determining which relief pitcher was the most effective, should consider the number of runs, earned runs and base runners given up by each relief pitcher and the context of the game at the time of each relief pitcher’s appearance. If two or more relief pitchers were similarly effective, the official scorer should give the presumption to the earlier pitcher as the winning pitcher.
(c) The official scorer shall not credit as the winning pitcher a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when at least one succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain its lead. In such a case, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the succeeding relief pitcher who was most effective, in the judgment of the official scorer.
Rule 10.17(c) Comment: The official scorer generally should, but is not required to, consider the appearance of a relief pitcher to be ineffective and brief if such relief pitcher pitches less than one inning and allows two or more earned runs to score (even if such runs are charged to a previous pitcher). Rule 10.17(b) Comment provides guidance on choosing the winning pitcher from among several succeeding relief pitchers.
(d) A losing pitcher is a pitcher who is responsible for the run that gives the winning team a lead that the winning team does not relinquish.
Rule 10.17(d) Comment: Whenever the score is tied, the game becomes a new contest insofar as the losing pitcher is concerned.
(e) A league may designate a non-championship game (for example, the Major League All-Star Game) for which Rules 10.17(a)(1) and 10.17(b) do not apply. In such games, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher that pitcher whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game, or during the inning on offense in which such pitcher is removed from the game, and does not relinquish such lead, unless such pitcher is knocked out after the winning team has attained a commanding lead and the official scorer concludes that a subsequent pitcher is entitled to credit as the winning pitcher.
