Giants' Jeff Samardzija: Takes no-decision against Pirates

Samardzija pitched six innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts in a no-decision Tuesday against the Pirates.

Analysis:

Samardzija induced 11 groundouts and 10 swinging strikes but was touched up for three extra-base hits, including an Andrew McCutchen triple. This marked Samardzija's first quality start since July 8 against Arizona. He hasn't struck out more than six batters since May 24 against San Diego either, making him a mediocre fantasy pitcher across the board. He'll make his next start Sunday against the Mets.
