Earned runs are any runs scored without an error being committed to let them cross the plate, or , get on base in the first place and before three outs would have occurred had there not been any errors.

It may be easier to say that an unearned run is one that would not have scored except for errors and then say an earned run is one that is not unearned.

When is it not an earned run in baseball?

An earned run is a run that the pitcher is held responsible for so if the pitcher gives up a home run that 1 earned run you probably already knew that. Instead if the pitcher pitches and then the ball is hit into the outfield and a outfielder drops it and a run comes in that would not be an earned run.

If a player hits a home run and there was an error in the inning how many of the runs are earned?

if there is two outs and the error would have meant the third out, then no earned runs will be charged. In all other cases, any runner who reached base on an error will not be considered an earned run ( the batter will be an earned run if the error was not supposed to be the third out.) Any runner who reaches base on a hit or walk but advances a base because of an error will still be considered an earned run when the homerun is hit (including runners who already scored on errors)


Are runs scored after a two out error earned or unearned?

Generally, any run, or runs' that score after an error occurs after two outs that would result in the third out of the inning, is an earned run. This is not necessarily true if the error that occured would not have resulted in the third out, i. e., a hit to the outfield, and the outfielder boots the ball and allows the hitter to advance another base, but the run would score even without the error, that run would be earned. As would all subsequent runs. In this, or similar situations, the scorer actually replays the inning without the error to determine which runs are earned.
