This doesn't completely answer your question, but here is some info on the topic anyway: 1931 Philadelphia A's, the Indians of the early 1950's and the 1970 Baltimore Orioles had three 20-game winners. The 1971 Orioles, featuring Mike Cuellar, Jim Palmer, Pat Dobson, and Dave McNally, are the only team with 4 starters to win 20 or more"

In the same season? It's never happened. If you're asking about pitchers who have had 20-win and 20-save seasons in their careers (but in different years), there have been a couple: John Smoltz, Derek Lowe, Dennis Eckersley, Ellis Kinder, come immediately to mind.

Since 1901, 23 major-league teams have had at least three 20-game winners. The last time was in 1973, when the Oakland A's were paced by starters Jim "Catfish" Hunter (21 wins), Ken Holtzman (21 wins) and Vida Blue (20 wins).
