Keep in mind that if an error occurs on what would've been the 3rd out, all runs after that are Unearned. That holds true until there's a pitching change in that inning.

A Home Run will tag the Pitcher with an Earned Run, except when hit after an error that would'be been the 3rd out.

Example with 2 Outs:

A) Batter reaches on a fielding error.
B) Pitches walks next batter, so now runners on 1st and 2nd.
C) Batter hits a 3 Run Home Run.

In this case, the Pitcher isn't charged any Earned Runs because the batter in step A would have been the 3rd out. If there had been 1 Out when step A occured, then the Pitcher would be charged 2 Earned Runs... 1 for the Walked Batter in B and 1 for the Home Run Hitter in C.
