I don't believe so. One of the devs answered a question a few months back and clearly stated that a SP will be able to throw a certain amount of pitches before starting to tire, and that number will always be the same (assuming fully rested).
Given that statement, it wouldn't appear a pitcher tires more quickly for pitching too much in an inning.
