I'm sure at some point, some Major League starter has gone in, choked up 5 runs or something and been pulled w/o making an out. What I'd like to know is: Has anyone been pulled for giving up 2, 3 runs and no outs? How few runs and still pulled? Specifically, how many pitches did he throw??

In a game this past September between the Reds and Brewers, Red's starting pitcher Phil Dumatrait was yanked after facing 5 hitters and throwing only 12 pitches. He gave up three home runs and two singles to the 5 batters he faced.
In July of this year, Kyle Davies of the Braves was pulled after facing five batters, giving up two hits and walking three on 22 pitches in a game against the Reds.
In 1917 in a game between the Red Sox and Washington Senators, Red Sox pitcher Babe Ruth walked the first Senator hitter, got into an argument with the umpire over the calls, allegedly threw a punch at the ump and got himself ejected. This is noteworthy because the runner Ruth had walked, was thrown out attempting to steal second and the pitcher that relieved Ruth, Ernie Shore, pitched no-hit ball the rest of the way.

Bill Gullickson, Aug 18, 1991, Tigers vs Blue Jays. Threw five pitches as follows - ball, home run, home run, ball, hit by pitch. This led to benches-clearing brawl and Gullickson was pulled (not ejected).

Absent injury or ejection, I think this is the winner.

Two pitchers I know of who were pulled super-early for injury reasons:
Al Leiter threw one pitch and hurt himself. The reliever, Neil Allen, went the distance and got the W, but (rightfully) did not get credit for a complete game. 31-May-1988 box: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/OAK/OAK198805310.shtml
Larry Yount (Robin's brother) was announced as the pitcher in his major league debut on 15-Sept-1971, but injured himself during warmups. Since he was announced, it counted as a game appearance, but he never did pitch in the game, and never got another chance in the majors. Career stats (such as they are): http://www.baseball-reference.com/y/yountla01.shtml
Earliest getting lifted simply for sucking, couldn't say.

I imagine it would be less than 1 out.
