Answer:

5 innings

Step-by-step explanation:

A pitcher receives a win when he is the pitcher of record when his team takes the lead for good with a couple rare exceptions. First, a starting pitcher must pitch at least five innings (in a traditional game of nine innings or longer) to qualify for the win.
