Forget the number 13, it's the number 18 that's proved vexing for Tyler Beede.
San Francisco's No. 2 prospect carried a perfect game into the sixth inning as Double-A Richmond beat Akron, 2-0, on Wednesday.
Beede retired the first 17 batters of the game before Ivan Castillo singled with two outs in the sixth inning.
"It was the first pitch of the at-bat, I threw a sinker away, because I knew he was aggressive, the whole team is aggressive," he said. "I was thinking of getting a ground ball that first pitch, letting him get himself out. I wouldn't say bad luck, but he hit it where they weren't at the six-hole just out of the range of [Brandon] Bednar at shortstop."
The situation reminded the 23-year-old right-hander of start against Bowie on June 2. Faced with the same scenario, Beede gave up a two-out double to Henry Urrutia after a nine-pitch at-bat. That game loomed large in his thought process on Wednesday.
