Unearned Scoring bug?
 
I am no expert at scoring runs vs. unearned runs, however, the following scenario just took place where the Twins scored 8 runs in one inning vs. King Felix and yet none of them were charged as earned runs in the box score. Could this be correct?

Minnesota Twins batting -
Pitching for Seattle Mariners : RHP Felix Hernandez

0-1: Swinging Strike
0-2: Foul Ball, location: 2F
0-2: Strikes out swinging passed ball, reaches first!

Batting: SHB Robbie Grossman
0-0: Ball

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but a PB basically is treated like an error. So if you're rebuilding the inning without it, then it goes FO, K, SI, FO, and that would be the inning.

I think you might be correct Matt. According to the definition below a passed ball is just like an error. So in this case, King Felix escaped with nary a blemish on his ERA but a big loss nonetheless.

Earned run
An earned run is a run that is ruled by the official scorer to have resulted exclusively from actions by the batting team and not because of errors by the defense. When the fielding team makes an error or passed ball, the scorer is supposed to "reconstruct" the inning assuming that the defensive miscue did not occur. Only runs that would have scored barring the miscue are considered earned; all others are considered to be unearned.
