Fantasy Impact
There wasn't much Samardzija could do in this one, as the ball was flying all over the place. He did his best effort to help himself, launching a two-run homer in the fifth inning. It wasn't enough, however, and Samardzija fell to 2-9 on the year. That record does not come close to indicating how well he has pitchedthis year, and this rough outing actually presents a good buy low opportunity.
