The Pirates begin a three-game set with the Giants tonight here at Oracle Park in San Francisco. MitchKeller gets the nod in the series opener with first pitch slated for 9:45 p.m. Eastern. I'll have full coverage of this series, this week's trade deadline and the next series against the Rockies in Denver.
The Pirates' clubhouse opens up here shortly and DonKelly will speak around 7:45 p.m. Eastern. Until then, enjoy some of the sights I captured heading into the ballpark this afternoon:
