    A starting pitcher will get the win if he pitches more than 5 innings and leaves the game with the lead and they team wins the game. If a pitcher just got done throwing his sixth inning, but they are losing by 1 run, and his team ends up getting the lead in their next offensive inning and a new pitcher comes in in the 7th inning the pitcher that threw the 6th will get the win, because he is the pitcher of record since the new pitcher is not officially in the game until he is reported and makes pitch in the following inning. Any time a lead changes, the last pitcher to end the defensive inning, will be the pitcher of record.

    A pitcher will get a loss, if his team is losing when he is taken out of the game and they never tie or get a lead.

    The win-loss percentage for pitchers is calculated by dividing the total number of games won by the total games played. (Wins / Games Played)
