So this doesn't matter to anyone but I'm just curious...
Zack Britton got charged with an earned run in the ninth today, this was the sequence of events:
single
passed ball
single to left field, run scores
fielder's choice/error (no outs recorded)
GIDP
ground out
Why is this run earned? If there are no errors made, the passed ball doesn't happen, runners are on first and second and the fielder's choice gets the middle runner, 1st and 3rd with one out, and then the DP which actually happened ends the inning. What am I missing?
