Had a guy walk to first, attempted to steal second but catcher threw it into the outfield sending the runner over to 3rd on the error. Then next batter hits a home run. Only 1 earned run was scored. Shouldn't that other run be earned also since he would have scored after the home run anyway?
"No run shall be earned when the runner's advance is aided by an error, a passed ball, or defensive interference or obstruction, if the scorer judges that the run would not have scored without the aid of such misplay." MLB R. 10.18(d).
