Samardzija didn't factor into the decision against the Dodgers on Monday, giving up two hits and no runs over five innings in the Giants' 3-2 victory. He struck out one and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Samadzija put up a good line despite only one strikeout, but he settled for a no-decision as the game was scoreless when he exited after throwing 79 pitches. He's provided solid ratios to this point in the season, as the veteran right-hander now has a 2.53 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP over 32 innings.

Samardzija (2-1) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday by allowing two runs on five hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out four and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Samardzija was unable to secure a quality start as he was pulled one out into the sixth inning after giving up a solo home run, a single and a walk. The 34-year-old has a 3.00 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB across 27 innings and lines up to face the Dodgers on Monday.

Samardzija (1-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on five hits and two walks over five innings while striking out seven in a 9-6 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Two of the hits left the yard, as Howie Kendrick and Juan Soto each took the right-hander deep in the first inning, but he was able to settle down after that and keep the Giants in the game. Samardzija will still take a 2.91 ERA and 20:8 K:BB through 21.2 innings into his next start Tuesday in Toronto.

Samardzija (1-0) picked up the win against the Rockies on Thursday, giving up just three hits and no earned runs over seven strong innings, striking out seven and walking one as the Giants won 1-0.

EDGE Analysis

Samardzija spun a gem in this one, shutting out the Padres and recording his first win of the season despite receiving just one run of support. The veteran is off to a great start, as he's now sporting a 1.62 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP through 16.2 innings. He's slated to take the hill next against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Samardzija gave up three earned runs over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Samardzija gave up only one run through the first four innings but ran into trouble in the fifth on three singles and a sacrifice fly. The 34-year-old has struck out six and walked five over 9.2 innings this season, and holds a 2.79 ERA going into his next start Thursday at home versus Colorado.

Samardzija yielded one unearned run in five innings of work during Sunday's 3-1 loss to San Diego. He gave up three hits and four walks while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Overall, Samardzija is lucky he allowed just one unearned run despite putting seven batters on base. Fortunately, he was able to escape a bases-loaded jam during the second frame before allowing the lone run in his fifth and final inning. The 34-year-old righty will take on the Rays next weekend.

Samardzija's first start of the season has "a very good chance" of being April 1, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

That would set Samardzija up to debut at Dodger Stadium in the Giants' fifth game of the season. The right-hander made his longest start of the spring Thursday, throwing 5.1 innings and allowing two eared runs on seven hits and a walk. He struck out four.

Samardzija tossed three scoreless innings while giving up one hit with two walks and four strikeouts in Monday's spring loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Samardzija followed up his two-inning scoreless spring debut with another brief gem, this time facing the Dodgers' regulars sans Corey Seager. The 34-year-old is coming off of an injury-plagued 2018 campaign where he posted a 6.25 ERA in just 10 starts. While it's early in the exhibition season, it is a positive sign that the Shark is ramping his fastball up to 94 mph (career-low 92.3 mph fastball average in 2018) while displaying big cut and two-seam movement, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Samardzija picked up the win Wednesday against the Royals, allowing one hit across two scoreless innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Samardzija was sharp in his Cactus League debut, needing just 10 pitches to navigate a pair of scoreless frames. While it's still early, this is an encouraging start to spring for the 34-year-old after injuries derailed his 2018 campaign.

Samardzija (shoulder) has begun throwing bullpen sessions, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries wrecked Samardzija's 2018 campaign, as he made just 10 starts and struggled to a 6.25 ERA when available. He didn't appear in a game after the All-Star break. It's a good sign that he's resumed throwing nearly two months before Opening Day, but given his age (34), it wouldn't be surprising if his road back is a rocky one.
