Home runs allowed is the number of home runs given up by a pitcher or a team's pitchers over a defined period of time. A home run is attributed to a pitcher when that batter makes it safeley home in the same play where the ball was put into play and there were no fielding errors. Most commonly this is when a player hits the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory but on some occasions a well placed hit into the outfield can result in an in the park home run. Generally, for Home Runs, lower is better. (Source)
