Jeff Samardzija Update

Decent outing by Jeff Samardzija Monday night—5.2 innings, no runs, six hits, four walks, and one strikeout.

Good enough to pace the Cubs in a 5-1 win against a division rival.

Samardzija appeared more in control of his pitches with the new delivery. He battled Pujols and Holiday well, too. Made tough pitches, made smart pitches.

It’s been a long road back for Jeff. He hasn’t made an appearance since April 19. But tonight, he earned himself another turn in the rotation.
