Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto will proudly show off a trimmed-down look when he makes his 2019 debut Tuesday as San Francisco hosts the Pittsburgh Pirates on the second night of a four-game series. The National League Central last-place Pirates dealt the Giants' fleeting playoff hopes a serious blow in the series opener Monday, rallying for four runs in the ninth inning to pull off a 6-4 stunner. The loss dropped the Giants 8 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the duel for the NL's second wild-card playoff berth with just 18 games remaining.
