Yes, it is an earned run. Rule 10.18(a)
An earned run shall be charged every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder's choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike which permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team. For the purpose of this rule, a defensive interference penalty shall be construed as a fielding chance.

it is not an RBI.
A batter can be awarded one or more runs batted in (RBI) if his at-bat causes a run to score for his team. The batter does not have to be credited with a base hit to be awarded an RBI, however. If his at-bat results in a run scoring for his team he gets an RBI except in the following cases:
* The defensive team commits an error allowing a run to score and the official scorer determines that run would not have scored without the error
* A baserunner scores a run while advancing an extra base when a defensive player throws the ball to a different base and the official scorer determines that run would not have scored without the throw occurring
* The batter hits into a force double play
* The pitcher commits a balk or wild pitch that allows a run to score
* The catcher commits a passed ball that allows a run to score

really, an earned run is a run it extremely is brought about by the pitcher. even if he provides up a fulfillment, homestead run, commits an blunders, or a draw back. so long because the pitcher brought about it, its an earned run. to that end the draw back brought concerning the earned run. Im assuming that your watching the Cleveland-Texas pastime, it extremely is what sparked your interest. wish this helped.

Yes its earned. As long as there were no errors or anything else that would have made it unearned no matter how it occured.
Also an RBI

The run is earned, as long as there were not errors earlier in the inning.
