The Dodgers were swept in a three-game series at PNC Park last August, losing two of the three games by one run.
Los Angeles then dropped two of three to Pittsburgh at Dodger Stadium in mid-September.
The Dodgers are 1-1 as part of a Sunday Night Baseball telecast, beating the San Francisco Giants on April 17, and losing May 15 to the St. Louis Cardinals. Both games were played at Chavez Ravine.
On top of now carrying the game against the Pirates for their weekly telecast, ESPN is already slated to broadcast the Dodgers’ May 29 game against the New York Mets at Citi Field, and their June 12 matchup with the Giants at AT&T Park.
The network will add more games to their Sunday Night schedule as the season progresses.
