Giants' Jeff Samardzija: Serves up three homers Wednesday against Pirates

Samardzija (8-4) lasted just three innings, giving up six runs on six hits while walking two and striking out two Wednesday against the Pirates. He did not factor in the decision.

Analysis:

Samardzija was bailed out by the Giants' offense, but that wasn't before his ERA (3.59) exploded to its highest mark since late April. For the second time in four starts, the righty was undone by the long ball. The Pirates homered in each inning off Samardzija, running his total up to eight home runs allowed this month. He'll look to rebound Monday in a favorable matchup at home against the A's.
