NEW YORK -- Right-hander Tyler Beede had a night he would like to forget, as the Giants were blanked by the Mets, 7-0, at Citi Field on Wednesday night.

It seems hard to believe that Beede is the same guy who pitched six solid innings and allowed just one run against the Marlins last Thursday.

Beede was behind the eight ball starting with the first inning. Jeff McNeil led off with a double, and he later scored on a Robinson Cano groundout.

Three innings later, it was a nightmare for Beede. He had a hard time throwing strikes, and he walked two batters in between a solo home run to Michael Conforto and a three-run dinger by Amed Rosario.

Beede was gone after five innings, allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits with four walks. He struck out five, but he really only had one good inning, retiring the side in order in the second.

“He was pitching with one pitch, it looked like. He didn’t have his fastball command. Walks got him,” manager Bruce Bochy said about Beede. “It looked like he lost a little confidence in attacking the strike zone. The long ball got him tonight. He was just off with his command.”

Beede didn’t argue with what Bochy said, confirming that he had problems throwing all three of his pitches -- fastball, changeup and curve.

“You have to be careful,” Beede said. “I made a couple of mistakes -- obviously, the home runs. I tried to get ahead on Conforto and he barreled the ball and it got out of here. I was behind 3-1 to Rosario.

“Those are pitches and counts that I need to locate better. Sometimes you get away with them. The hitters pop up with weak contact. Other times, the good hitters do what they usually do. They hit the ball out of the ballpark.”

The Giants' offense had an uninspired night, managing just five hits against left-hander Jason Vargas. San Francisco had a runner in scoring position only once in the game, and that was in the first inning when Joe Panik was stranded at second after his leadoff double.

“Vargas just changes speeds so well and locates,” Bochy said. “You saw a guy that doesn’t power his way through us. But yet, he got a lot of swings and misses, a lot of soft contact. He kept us off balance. I’ve seen him do that to us before. We had a hard time stringing some hits together.”
