Jeff Samardzija (7-8) allowed four runs on six hits while striking out seven in five innings in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Mets. He took his eighth loss of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Samardzija didn't walk anyone and had pitched well in his previous three starts. He was hurt by the long ball as he gave up a pair of homers to Dominic Smith and Jeff McNeil. Samardzija now owns a 4.09 ERA and 96/29 K/BB ratio in his 20 starts this season. His next scheduled start is Wednesday, away against the Phillies.
