KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: 2016: 78-83, third place
Manager: Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
Who's new? RHP Daniel Hudson, IF Phil Gosselin
Who's gone? IF Sean Rodriguez, OF Matt Joyce, SP Jeff Locke, SP Ryan Vogelsong, RP Neftali Feliz, C Eric Fryer
Projected lineup: 2B Josh Harrison (.283, 4 HR, 59 RBI, 19 SB), 1B Josh Bell (.273, 3, 19), RF Andrew McCutchen (.256, 24, 79), CF Starling Marte (.311, 9, 46, 47 SB), LF Gregory Polanco (.258, 22, 86), 3B Jung-ho Kang (.255, 21, 62), C Francisco Cervelli (.264, 1, 33), SS Jordy Mercer (.256, 11, 59)
Rotation: RH Gerrit Cole (7-10, 3.88 ERA), RH Ivan Nova (12-8, 4.17 for Yankees and Pirates), RH Jameson Taillon (5-4, 3.38), RH Chad Kuhl (5-4, 4.20), RH Drew Hutchison (1-0, 5.25 with Blue Jays and Pirates) or Steven Brault (0-3, 4.86) or Trevor Williams (1-1, 7.82) or Tyler Glasnow (0-2, 4.24)
Key relievers: LH Tony Watson (2-5, 3.06, 15/20 SV), RH Daniel Hudson (3-2, 5.22 with Diamondbacks), LH Felipe Rivero (1-6, 4.09 for Nationals and Pirates), RH Juan Nicasio (10-7, 4.50), LH Antonio Bastardo (3-0, 4.52 with Mets and Pirates), RH Jared Hughes (1-1, 3.03), LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.77 with Mariners and Pirates)
Hot spots: Rotation and closer. Right-hander Glasnow, 23, is a consensus top-25 prospect who made his major league debut last year. The Pirates would love to see him seize the fifth starter's job in camp, but right-hander Hutchison offers a more experienced option if Glasnow isn't ready. Watson became the closer after Mark Melancon was traded to Washington last summer, but his sinker/slider/changeup mix isn't typical ninth-inning stuff. Keep an eye on Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty acquired in the Melancon trade. His fastball actually gained velocity as last season wore on, eventually touching triple digits. Rivero might begin the season as the set-up man but his ascension to the ninth inning seems inevitable.
Outlook: The Pirates made some interesting tweaks after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years. They made no major trades, signed only two major league free agents (pitchers Nova and Hudson) and revamped Hurdle's coaching staff. They also moved their outfielders around: McCutchen goes from center to right, Marte from left to center, and Polanco from right to left. McCutchen is coming off the worst season of his career. So is ace right-hander Cole. The path back to the playoffs begins with the two stars bouncing back. If the team's other homegrown talent ' Taillon, Glasnow, Bell and Polanco ' continue their evolution, Pittsburgh should return to the postseason in 2017.
SAN FRANCISCO: 2016: 87-75, second place
Manager: Bruce Bochy (11th season)
Who's new? RHP Mark Melancon, C Nick Hundley, IF Jae-Gyun Hwang
Who's gone? OF Angel Pagan, OF Gregor Blanco, RHP Jake Peavy, RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Sergio Romo, LHP Javier Lopez
Projected lineup: CF Denard Span (.266, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 12 SB), 1B Brandon Belt (.275, 17 , 82), C Buster Posey (.288, 14, 80), RF Hunter Pence (.289, 13, 57), SS Brandon Crawford (.275, 12, 84), 3B Eduardo Nunez (.288, 16, 67, 40 SBs with Giants and Twins), 2B Joe Panik (.239, 10, 62), LF Jarrett Parker (.236, 5, 14) or Mac Williamson (.223, 6, 15)
Rotation: LH Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74 ERA), RH Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79), RH Jeff Samardzija (12-11, 3.81), LH Matt Moore (13-12, 4.08 with Giants and Rays), RH Matt Cain (4-8, 5.64)
Key relievers: RH Mark Melancon (2-2, 1.64, 47/51 SV with Nationals), RH Hunter Strickland (3-3, 3.10), RH Derek Law (4-2, 2.13), LH Steven Okert (0-0, 3.21) or Josh Osich (1-3, 4.71), RH Cory Gearrin (3-2, 4.28), RH George Kontos (3-2, 2.53) Hot spot: Bullpen and left field. No team blew more saves last year than the Giants. The front office hopes it found the answer by signing three-time All-Star closer Melancon to a (then-record) four-year, $62 million deal, and by cutting ties with Romo and Casilla. They will need to replace Will Smith, a key lefty who tore his UCL in spring training. Veteran outfielder Pagan left after five seasons in San Francisco. Rather than fill his shoes via free agency or trade, the unproven tandem of Williamson and Parker is expected to share time in left.
Outlook: The Giants have an established core of position players, and an enviable 1-2 rotation punch in Bumgarner and Cueto. That's probably why the front office did little in the offseason besides overhaul the back end of the bullpen. Hwang, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 104 last year in Korea, is an intriguing addition to the bench. Mostly the Giants are counting on continuity. Former NL MVP Posey is coming off a below-average season by his standards, and sparkplug Pence missed nearly two months last year with a hamstring injury. Expecting both to bounce back isn't a stretch, and new closer Melancon is as good as they come. At full strength, this Giants team should be able to give the Dodgers a good run.
PREVIEW
Giants' Samardzija faces Pirates amid trade rumors
 

SAN FRANCISCO -- Veteran right-hander Jeff Samardzija will take the mound amid trade rumors Wednesday afternoon when he pitches for the San Francisco Giants against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Samardzija's name hadn't been as popular in trade speculation this month as that of teammate Eduardo Nunez. On Tuesday night, the Giants dealt their third baseman to the Boston Red Sox for minor league pitchers Shaun Anderson and Gregory Santos.

Now the eyes of scouts who stick around for the series finale in San Francisco can focus on Samardzija, who was acquired at the trade deadline by the Oakland Athletics from the Chicago Cubs in July 2014 under similar circumstances.

Samardzija (4-11, 5.05 ERA) will start Wednesday's game as the second-losingest pitcher in the majors. However, he has allowed three runs or fewer in 11 of his past 16 starts after a disastrous April in which his ERA topped out at 7.40.

Giants players weren't surprised to see Nunez go. It's the business of baseball, Tuesday's winner Madison Bumgarner insisted, when a team is in last place.

"This organization's got to do what they think is best for us," he said. "We all enjoyed having Nunie here. It's good for him to get in a playoff race."

If the goal is for Samardzija to raise his stock Wednesday, the Giants could benefit from the Pirates being the opponent.

He has fashioned a fine 2.91 ERA and 5-4 record in 24 games (13 starts) against the Pirates in his career, including getting the win in a 5-3 victory at Pittsburgh on July 2. He allowed two runs in six innings that day.

Samardzija will be opposed to Pirates right-hander Trevor Williams, who has pitched most of his best ball this season on the road.

Williams (4-4, 4.74 ERA) has won three of his past four road decisions, and he has limited the home team to three or fewer runs in five of his past six road outings.

Williams opposed Samardzija in the July 2 game in Pittsburgh, not getting a decision after allowing two runs in six innings. It was his first career start against the Giants.

The Pirates will be attempting to rebound from an 11-3 thumping at the hands of San Francisco on Tuesday night. The result evened the three-game series at a game apiece.

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle left the ballpark in a surprisingly upbeat mood after the drubbing, the result of having watched the performance of left-handed reliever Steven Brault.

Asked to save the bullpen in a mop-up role, Brault threw three innings of shutout ball.

Along the way, he got a rare opportunity to bat twice. He singled and lined out to right field in his first two at-bats of the season.

"Steven was having a blast," Hurdle said. "We needed the length, and he gave it to us."

There were negatives to the blowout defeat, however.

The loss ended Pittsburgh's seven-game winning streak in San Francisco that dated back to the 2014 season. Also, the Pirates did not homer in the game, ending a six-game streak at AT&T Park.
