So if the error is on the pitcher, is it an earned run?

Yes.

So if the error is on the pitcher, is it an earned run?

According to the CBS site, it is an earned run.

[sbknudson]

Man, nothing is going out in right. All things considered, though, I'm OK with that today.

Nathan's ERA is up half a point after that stint!

[ashburyjohn]

I would have sent DeVries out, with the understanding that the moment a runner got in scoring position, he was done.

Either way, the choice of Fien to relieve DeVries seems more about getting the guy into a game, any game, moreso than trying to enter the All-Star Break on a winning note.

Knocked him out. Sweet.

[glunn]

Nathan going out -- is he injured?

[Top Gun]

Why do Twins need SP?

[sbknudson]

Well, here comes Perkins. Personally, I would have preferred Burton. He's been more reliable this year - Perkins has had a tendency this year to make things exciting, kinda like Capps.

Nope. Tactical decision by Washington.

Well let's not talk crazy, he isn't Capps like, in anyway.

[sbknudson]

Oh, I love this "play the rookie so he can get experience" thing.

An error and a wild pitch....

[mikeee]

Good thing they scored those extra runs....

[GCTF]

Both runs should be unearned, it doesn't matter if the pitcher is the one who committed the error.

Dozier should have been the first out, Carroll struck out for out number 2 and Span flew out. No runs should have scored.

ESPN has them both as unearned FWIW

[sbknudson]

You were saying?

[mikeee]

Dead arm Perkins...

[glunn]

Perkins is making this way too close.

[Alex]

Inning would be over if it weren't for Dozier.

[GCTF]

Jeez.
