PITTSBURGH — For as strange as it may seem, the Pirates’ experiment using right-hander Tyler Beede in the starting rotation hasn’t been all bad.
Sure, he allowed five earned runs in his first start this season against the Milwaukee Brewers back on Aug. 3, but he pitched fairly well against the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants his next two times toeing the slab.
On Saturday, in a brutal 10-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, he pitched deeper into the game than he has before, but it certainly didn’t go very well.
