Regardless if the run was unearned or not, if the run was scored while he was still in the game he gets the loss. The run just obviously doesn't count against his ERA.

He loses. It's kind of unfair, but think of it this way. The pitcher as total control- that means he makes the pitches, he can keep the other team from hitting the ball. Even for an unearned run, a ball has to be hit somewhere. It's tough, but that's why the pitchers make the big bucks, get most of the credit, and deserve the blame when they lose.

Loss - just like the person before posted.. someone has to take the lost. if the pitcher is the only pitcher in the game he gets the loss. a pitcher must pitch 5 innings to receive a win but you can receive the loss after one pitch - if the leadoff guy hits it out and his team never ties or regains the lead... earned or unearned runs have nothing to do with a pitcher's win/loss record.

it would still be a loss for that pitcher that gave up the unearned run. Sometimes things don't seem quite right with win/loss decisions in baseball --- but someone has to take the L, and he was on the mound when that run was scored.

Runs being earned or unearned do not factor into the victory/loss decisions.

The pitcher who gave up the run would get the loss. it wouldnt affect his era though since it was unearned.

If he gave up the run, he gets the loss, if he didn't a no decision....If a reliever gave it up, that reliever would get the loss....Whether the run is earned or not has no impact on the losing pitcher....

Loss because he was pitching, plus, there has to be more than one pitcher for a no decision

My guess could make sure. in case you think of roughly it, the pitcher is in charge for that runner getting on base interior the 1st place, so some burden of the loss rests on the pitcher.

The loss, depending on how many innings he's pitched when the run is scored.
