What determines if a baseball pitcher can get a decision

In baseball, a pitcher is credited with a decision (win or loss) if they meet certain criteria. These criteria vary depending on the league and level of play, but generally involve the following:

Starting the game: The pitcher must start the game and pitch at least five innings.
Going deep into the game: The pitcher must pitch deep into the game, typically at least six or seven innings.
Maintaining a low ERA: The pitcher must maintain a low earned-run average (ERA), which measures the number of runs allowed per nine innings pitched.
Not allowing inherited runners to score: The pitcher cannot allow any inherited runners (runners on base when they enter the game) to score.
Getting the win: The pitcher must have a lead when they leave the game, and their team must win the game.

If a pitcher meets all of these criteria, they will be credited with a win. If they fail to meet any of the criteria, they will be credited with a no-decision.

How many innings does a pitcher need to qualify for a win? - At least five innings.
What is a quality start? - A start in which the pitcher allows three or fewer earned runs in six or more innings.
What is the difference between a win and a no-decision? - A win is credited to a pitcher who meets all the criteria listed above, while a no-decision is credited to a pitcher who does not meet all the criteria.
What is a save? - A save is credited to a relief pitcher who enters the game in the seventh inning or later, pitches at least one inning, and preserves a lead.
What is a hold? - A hold is credited to a relief pitcher who enters the game in a tie game or within one run of a lead and pitches at least one inning without allowing the tying run to score.
