Looking over Gil Meche' career and breaking up high pitch counts accordingly...and then combining performances over the next three games.

10 starts, 53.67 IP, 50 hits, 35 runs, 35 ER, 22 BB, 31 K, 11 HR, 5.87 ERA, 91 pitches, 4-6 record
No starts missed. No relief appearances.
2004: 2 115-119 pitch performances (a); 1 120-124 pitch performance (b); 2 125-129 pitch performances (c)

(b) 4 starts, 27.33 IP, 19 hits, 10 runs, 10 ER, 6 BB, 17 K, 5 HR, 3.29 ERA, 118 pitches 1-1 record
(c) 10 starts, 66.33 IP, 58 hits, 29 runs, 28 ER, 16 BB, 42 K, 13 HR, 3.80 ERA, 113 pitches, 6-1 record
Missed two months: had a 125-pitch performance in his third start back! No relief appearances.
2005: 3 115-119 pitch performances
12 starts, 64.67 IP, 68 hits, 42 runs, 36 ER, 39 BB, 42 K, 7 HR, 5.01 ERA, 104 pitches, 5-5 record
Missed about one month. Became a reliever when he returned.
2006: 2 115-119 pitch performances (a); 1 120-124 pitch performance (b); 2 125-129 pitch performances
(a) 7 starts, 46.33 IP, 40 hits, 19 runs, 19 ER, 18 BB, 42 K, 5 HR, 3.69 ERA, 109 pitches, 5-2 record
(b) 4 starts, 24 IP, 23 hits, 11 runs, 9 ER, 13 BB, 17 K, 2 HR, 3.38 ERA, 104 pitches, 1-2 record
(c) 5 starts, 29.33 IP, 31 hits, 17 runs, 17 ER, 13 BB, 31 K, 3 HR, 5.22 ERA, 112 pitches, 2-1 record
No starts missed. Had 125-pitch performance in final game of the season, so there's no information for corresponding starts.
(a) 12 starts, 77 IP, 68 hits, 33 runs, 31 ER, 23 BB, 53 K, 10 HR, 3.62 ERA, 108 pitches, 4-5 record
(b) 6 starts, 37.33 IP, 43 hits, 20 runs, 20 ER, 10 BB, 26 K, 4 HR, 4.82 ERA, 106 pitches, 0-5 record
Had a 124-pitch performance in second to last game of the season, so there are no subsequent starts to calculate.
2008: 6 115-119 pitching performances (a); 1 125-129 pitching performance (b)
(a) 17 starts, 106.67 IP, 101 hits, 44 runs, 40 ER, 36 BB, 90 K, 8 HR, 3.38 ERA, 106 pitches, 5-7 record
(b) 4 starts, 25.67 IP, 25 hits, 11 runs, 11 ER, 5 BB, 15 K, 4 HR, 3.86 ERA, 112 pitches, 2-2 record
2009: 2 115-119 pitching performances (a); 1 120-124 pitching performance (b); 1 130-134 pitching performance (c)
(a) 8 starts, 46.33 IP, 48 hits, 28 runs, 26 ER, 17 BB, 34 K, 5 HR, 5.05 ERA, 102 pitches, 3-4 record
(b) 6 starts, 30 IP, 36 hits, 20 runs, 15 ER, 19 BB, 21 K, 4 HR, 4.50 ERA, 100 pitches, 0-4 record
(c) 4 starts, 23.1 IP, 24 hits, 16 runs, 15 ER, 11 BB, 15 K, 5 HR, 5.79 ERA, 103 pitches, 1-3 record
Gil's second to last start to date of this season was a 120-pitch performance, so the subsequent starts have obviously not been calculated.
