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)

About the complete game in baseball, I'd say 25 pitches is the minimum for a complete game.

If the local team wins 1-0, the other pitcher will have to throw 8 complete innings, (24 pitches) plus another throw for let's say a home run, or an error, etc..

Am I right???

And now, what's the maximum stikeouts a pitcher can have in one inning?
