The Pirates have reached the postseason in consecutive campaigns for the first time since making three trips in a row from 1990-92. Pittsburgh won four of the six matchups between these clubs in 2014, with five of those six contests being decided by two runs or less.

The Giants will be making their third postseason appearance in the last five years and 11th trip in the San Francisco era (since 1958). The Giants have won the World Series in each of their last two postseason appearances (2010 & 2012).

The Pirates own a home record of 31-12 since June 19 -- the best home record in the majors in that span. Pittsburgh's 51-30 overall home record is tied with the Cardinals and the Nationals for the best home record among all NL clubs this season.

Madison Bumgarner, who set a career-high in wins (18) and strikeouts (219) this season, has three career postseason victories -- one in the Division Series and two in the World Series. Bumgarner has lost each of his last two starts against Pittsburgh and is 1-3 with a 3.24 ERA in four career starts against them.

Edinson Volquez is 5-0 with a 1.78 ERA in his last 12 starts and hasn't recorded a loss since July 21. Volquez is 2-2 with a 5.72 ERA in 11 career starts against the Giants and hasn't defeated them since 2008.

Starling Marte enters this game hitting .340 (18-for-53) with three doubles, two homers and six RBI during his current career-high 13-game hitting streak. Marte is hitting .455 (10-for-22) with two doubles, one triple, one homer and eight runs in five career games against San Francisco.
