ATLANTA (AP) — The San Francisco Giants optioned starting pitcher Hayden Birdsong to Triple-A Sacramento after he failed to record an out in Monday night’s 9-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Birdsong (4-4) issued four walks, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch while allowing five runs against the Braves. The right-hander threw just six of his 25 pitches for strikes in the Giants’ sixth straight loss.
It was the first time in 37 career appearances Birdsong did not record an out. He has walked 17 batters in his last 13 innings.
Birdsong’s ERA increased to 4.80, including an 8.13 mark in his last seven starts.
San Francisco also optioned right-hander Tristan Beck to Sacramento after Monday night’s game and recalled right-handers Carson Seymour and Sean Hjelle from the Triple-A team on Tuesday. Beck threw 1 1/3 perfect innings on Monday night, leaving his ERA at 5.68.
Hjelle pitched a scoreless sixth inning Tuesday night against the Braves.
