• The starting line-up for the Pirates is as follows:

• The starting line-up for the Giants is as follows:

• The San Francisco Giants will host an on-field, 10-year reunion of their 2012 World Series championship team before Saturday night’s game against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. The hosts should be in a celebratory mood after opening a seven-game homestand with a 5-3 triumph over the Pirates on Friday.

• Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt are the only current members of the Giants or Pirates who were on San Francisco’s 2012 team, although Evan Longoria and Alex Cobb also were in the majors at the time, both with the Tampa Bay Rays.

• Beede will try to make it a happy night for Kelly and the rest of the Pirates. The former first-round pick went 5-11 with a 5.39 ERA in 3 1/2 seasons in San Francisco. The 29-year-old has made two starts, both in an opener-type role, since joining the Pirates. He allowed a combined four runs and seven hits in five innings to the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks. Beede has yet to pitch against the Giants in his career.

• Webb is coming off a strong effort against the Oakland Athletics that snapped a personal two-game losing streak. He limited the A’s to two runs on four hits in seven innings to pick up the win on Sunday. The 25-year-old has started just once in his career against Pittsburgh and was tagged for four runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings at home in his fifth major-league game on Sept. 11, 2019. The Giants lost 6-3.
