Pirates Reveal Starting Pitcher for Rangers Finale
Shortly following the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 4-0 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, Hannah Mears of SportsNet Pittsburgh reported that veteran right-hander Domingo German will get the starting nod Wednesday afternoon.
The 32-year old has made three appearances this season for the Pirates, all of which came in a relief role. In six total innings of work, German has allowed two runs on two hits and has struck out for batter while walking three.
German has spent the majority of his 2023 season in Triple-A with the Indianapolis Indians where he got hit around pretty good over the course of 13 starts. There, he posted a 5.29 ERA in 68 innings, producing a WHIP of 1.43 as opposing hitters hit .248 off of him. Prior to joining the Bucs this spring, German had a pretty solid career in six seasons with the New York Yankees where he went 31-28 in 115 outings (89 starts), pitching to the tune of a 4.39 ERA.
As for the Rangers, they announced that left-hander Andrew Heaney will get the ball to get things started, which could be good news for the Pirates. While he’s pitched relatively well this year, Texas has not backed him up with run support all season. On top of that, Heaney has had a rough go of it of late allowing 18 runs over his last four starts. In three of those games, he failed to go a complete five innings.
With the season winding down, the Pirates need to take this series against a team that has been scuffling before returning home to play seven straight games versus NL Central opponents. Their playoff hopes may seem dashed, but there’s still a chance they can get on a run and make a late surge.
First pitch between the Pirates and Rangers is set for 2:35 p.m. EST.

Pittsburgh Regional Transit will hold a public meeting on Tuesday to hear from riders on the proposed Bus Line Refresh. According to PRT, the Bus Line Refresh is an update to the bus network and is designed to improve reliability, frequency, seven-day service, and connectivity. “We have some new routes proposed, a North Hills to Oakland connection, a South Hills Oakland connection, that don’t exist today. We also are proposing to increase service on off-peak hours,” said Jake Stockman, a senior planner for PRT. “And then also wanting to make sure that throughout this process, we’re centering equity, to make sure that the communities where the service is needed the most aren’t being left behind.”The Bus Line Refresh is the second draft of the Bus Line Redesign, which Stockman said prompted more than 90 public engagement events and garnered more than 12,000 public comments. However, this time, the proposed updates will not be as drastic. “We’ve called it the ‘Refresh’ because we want the second draft to reflect that we’re reducing the volume of change so the system will look a little bit more familiar to our existing riders compared to what we previously presented in 1.0,” Stockman told Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 Reporter Jordan Cioppa. PRT staff will continue to gather public feedback on the new proposal through a number of ways, such as attending community meetings and popping up at bus stops. Stockman presented the plan to West End neighbors Monday night. “The increased frequency sounds great, later on Sunday night for people. There used to be service after midnight. Some people do work past 11 p.m.,” said John McNulty, a West End resident and PRT rider. Public comment started in March and will last through May. PRT will then host public hearings this summer before presenting a final plan to the PRT board in the fall. Stockman said the goal is to implement the changes in 2027. Riders are encouraged to attend the main public comment meeting on April 7 at the August Wilson Center from 5 to 7 p.m.
