earned runs
Unfielded scoring plays
In baseball, earned runs are runs scored against a pitcher that result from normal offensive play rather than defensive errors.
The distinction matters for evaluating pitchers: if a fielder's error allows runners to advance or score, those runs don't count against the pitcher's earned run average (ERA).
He gave up three earned runs in six innings.
