Is it considered a blown save for a relief pitcher in baseball if the tying or winning run is unearned?

Answer 1

Yes, pitchers, especially relief pitchers, are expected to be able, atleast occasionally, to pitch around an error that eventually leads indirectly to a run or runs scored by the opposition. Many times, the really good ones are able to do this. Different story, of course, if an error leads directly to a score by the opposing team. But yes, it's still a blown save no matter how the tying or go ahead / winning run / runs are scored.

Answer 2

If the scorer felt that it grew to become into an user-friendly play and the fielder (even with it being the pitcher) ought to have made it, they are going to rule it an blunders. If that runner comes around to attain, it is going to likely be unearned. notwithstanding, if different runners get on and that one play could have been the version between being out of the inning, then different runs may well be unearned too. ie, in case you bunt with 2 outs and are risk-free on an blunders, and the subsequent 3 adult men all hit living house runs, all 4 runs could be unearned.

Answer 3

to blow a save the tying run would have to come before the winning run, but as long as the run crosses the plate its a blown save, if the winning run crosses the plate, even if its unearned its a loss to who ever left the runner on base (only in relief tho)

Answer 4

Yes. Anytime the tying run scores, regardless of whose fault it is, it's a blown save. The point of a save is that you have, as a pitcher, ended the game.
