Giants vs. Pirates lineups: Dereck Rodriguez looks to end four-game skid

Share

The Giants' long, frustrating road trip continues on Easter Sunday in Pittsburgh. 

Dereck Rodriguez takes the hill as the Giants look to snap a four-game losing streak and avoid a sweep against the Pirates.

Rodriguez has faced the Pirates only once in his short career. On Aug. 12, 2018, the right-hander allowed one earned run over seven innings in a 6-1 win over the Pirates. This will be his first time pitching in Pittsburgh.
