What is the fewest number of pitches that a pitcher in a major league baseball game can throw and come away with a complete game?

(A real complete game, not shortened by rain or anything like that)

(In reply to short but sweet... EASY by kirk smith)

27 was my first thought too, Kirk, but then I decided that was too easy.  If our pitcher is pitching the bottom of the innings, then the answer is 25.  See my solution. :-)
