Three Takeaways: Tyler Beede Would be Better Utilized as a Reliever (+)

PITTSBURGH — The Tyler Beede experiment is not going very well.

The right-hander made his fourth start Saturday night since being moved into the rotation from the bullpen. He wound up allowing five runs in four innings in a 10-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park.

Beede is 0-2 with an 8.25 ERA as a starter.

That comes following a good run as a reliever after being claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on May 12. He had a 2.64 ERA in 17 games.
