In almost all cases, the starting pitcher has to last at least five innings and his team must a) be in the lead before a reliever throws a pitch, and b) maintain the lead for the rest of the game. For a reliever to get a win, it's the same minus the five-inning provision. Losses are different, since that is based on the runs for which the pitcher is "responsible" -- ones that reached base against him while he was in the game. As for the save, the pitcher must finish a game that the team wins and meet conditions, most pertaining to how close the margin is when he enters the game, outlined in the rule.

Are there any limits on how many innings a pitcher can pitch, in one game? Not in any official rules. In a MLB game on 1920 May 5, both pitchers threw for 26 innings. The game was called due to darkness with the score still 1 to 1.
The heaviest pitcher in MLB History is definitely Nolan Ryan.
Rick Wise of the 1971 Philadelphia Phillies.Wise no hit the Cincinnati Reds on June 23, 1971, winning 4-0, and hit two home runs in the game.
No. Through the 2010 All Star Game, there have been 175 home runs hit by 133 different players but none by a pitcher.
His team has to record 27 outs while he was the pitcher of record.

Unlike in the MLB, where the winner of the All-Star game determines which team will have home-field advantage in the World Series, there is no prize for winning the All-Star game in terms of basketball. It is merely an entertaining event.
There is no limit in regards to how many innings a Starting Pitcher must pitch in the Major League Baseball All Star game, a team can be winning and the Starting Pitcher could pitch only 2 innings but because All Star games have different rules, they can be given the Win.

a perfect game is when a pitcher allows no hits, walks, and his team allows no errors

A single out is enough to get a save. To get a save a pitcher has to record the game ending out, and has to have entered with a lead of 3 runs or fewer, or with the tying run at the plate or on deck. If a pitcher throws the game's final 3 innings he can get the save regardless of how big a lead his team had when he entered.
