************************************

Earned run by Los Angeles, right? Runner scored before a non-forceout error, right? Well, where is the run? The log shows the final score to be 4-0.


On the other hand, the scoreboard says the run was scored and the game score was 4-1:

************************************

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Atlanta Braves 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 1 4 9 0
Los Angeles (N) Dodgers 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 3 0


And the pitcher's line says the run happened, but was unearned!

************************************

Atlanta IP H R ER BB K HR PI PS ERA
J. Autrey W (1-0) 9.0 3 1 0 5 10 0 134 92 0.00

************************************

That's right, one run, no earned runs. ERA of 0.00 (it's his first start of the year, btw).

That run is an earned run (batter got on base with a walk and then was scored by a double), but it somehow credited as an unearned run...and somehow is not even credited at all in the game log! Bug bug bug bug bug!

"One run shall be scored each time a runner legally advances to and touches first, second, third and home base before three men are put out to end the inning. EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases."
