The San Francisco Giants will try to get out of PNC Park with a split today when they wrap up their 4-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Today’s probables are lefty Alex Wood for the Giants and Mitch Keller for the Bucs. Wood has been delivering, at 4-0, with a 1.80 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP, and in his last outing against Texas he allowed just 1 run on 4 hits over 7 innings, resulting in a 3-1 Giants win. That can’t be said about Keller, who is 2-4 with a 7.81 ERA, a 1.81 WHIP, and was lit up in his last outing yielding 7 runs on 7 hits in 3-1/3 innings of work resulting in a 14-1 loss to the Reds. The Giants lost the last two to the Pirates but both games were by Pirate walk-offs and could have gone either way. And let’s not forget, Pittsburgh is just 3-7 in their last 10 home games and 5-11 in their last 16 overall.
