earned run

No error score

In baseball, an earned run is a run scored against a pitcher that results from normal play rather than fielding errors or passed balls.

A pitcher's earned run average (ERA)—earned runs allowed per nine innings—is the standard measure of pitching effectiveness: He gave up three earned runs in six innings.
