Runs are charged to a pitcher or team's pitcher when a hitter or baserunner scores for any reason. For a pitcher to be charged with the run allowed they must have been the pitcher the batter had a plate apperance against. An more complicated example of runs allowed is if pitcher A is removed from the game after allowing runners to reach second and third base and pitcher B gives up a home run. The two baserunners are charged to pitcher A, the hitter is charged to pitcher B. Generally, for Runs, lower is better. (Source)
