    The formula is: (earned runs x 9) divided by innings pitched.
    This will give you the average number of runs a pitcher has allowed in each nine-inning subset of his total innings pitched. So, for example, if a pitcher has 18 innings behind him, and he allowed 2 earned runs in those 18 innings, his ERA is 1.00.
