No...a fielding error that allows the runner to get on base and
that runner scores is not an earned run and does not count against
earned run average.

A hurler is a slang term for a pitcher in baseball. ERA stands for Earned Run Average and is a statistic for pitchers that shows the number of 'earned' runs a pitcher allows for every nine innings. An earned run is a run that is scored without the help of an error or passed ball. One might think that the earned run average of a pitcher is similar to that of the batting average of a hitter.

ERA is the abbreviation for Earned Run Average. ERA is
calculated on a per-9-inning basis, so if you give up 2 earned runs
in 3 innings, then your ERA is 6.00.
