Earned Run Question

[JagDad]

If a runner reaches base via a passed ball or wild pitch on a strikeout and later scores in the inning, does this count as an earned run against the pitcher?

[OhioTex]

passed ball is different than a wild pitch

wild pitch is a pitcher issue. passed ball is not

From an MLB scoring perspective. Rule 10.16 covers this. (emphasis added)

MLB Rule
10.16
An earned run is a run for which a pitcher is held accountable. In determining earned runs, the official scorer shall reconstruct the inning without the errors (which exclude catcher’s interference) and passed balls, giving the benefit of the doubt always to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by runners had there been errorless play.

(a) The official scorer shall charge an earned run against a pitcher every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder’s choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike that permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team. For the purpose of this rule, a defensive interference penalty shall be construed as a field- ing chance. A wild pitch is solely the pitcher’s fault and shall contribute to an earned run just as a base on balls or a balk.
