So for the purposes of the contest, this is only one run given up by the pen, correct?

YNOT 7. How many earned runs will all Nationals relief pitchers allow in the 6 games?

The box score shows ZERO earned runs given up by the Nationals' bullpen in Game 1 at Pittsburgh. Albers gave up 1 run due to Zimmerman's error.
http://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=370516123



In 2014 and prior seasons, some YNOT questions were often based on general complaints about aspects of the team's performance, or about areas where the team was doing very well. This question tests how bad the bullpen is for this road trip. They can keep loading the bases, but if they don't give up earned runs, they're just giving us collective heart disease.
