What is the MLB record for the most relief pitchers for one team in an inning?

Hello sirfrank,

My research indicates that the record is six, by the Oakland A's in
the Cleveland Indians' 45-minute-long ninth inning on September 3,
1983.

This record -- which is not only for relief pitchers but pitchers,
period -- has been approached but not equalled.
