Giants-Pirates top TV ratings
NEW YORK — The Giants’ rout of the Pirates drew the highest television rating in the brief history of baseball’s wild-card games.
San Francisco’s 8-0 win Wednesday on ESPN averaged a 3.6 rating despite the lopsided score. The nearly 5.6 million viewers are up 19 percent from the 4.7 million for last year’s AL wild-card game on the same day.
