SAN DIEGO — Tyler Beede tossed seven brilliant innings in a dominant victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday and was rewarded with a trip back to the minor leagues.
Yes, after the best start of Beede’s young career, he’ll spend the All-Star break with the Sacramento River Cats.
The Giants announced the decision to option Beede on Wednesday, but he was brought in to manager Bruce Bochy’s office and informed of the transaction shortly after he earned his second win.
With the All-Star break beginning Monday and Beede’s next start not slated to come within the next 10 days, the right-hander indicated he understood a temporary demotion was a possibility.
