Jeff Samardzija has recorded seven quality starts in his eight appearances for the Chicago Cubs this season, but remains winless.

Samardzija has a 1.45 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 45 strikeouts in 56 innings. Only Johnny Cueto (1.43) has a lower ERA in the Major Leagues.

At 0-3, Samardzija has been unlucky and lacked run support from the Cubs. He went into Saturday's action receiving just 1.88 runs per game of support. The Cubs scored zero runs for him against the Atlanta Braves, which will only lower that figure.

Overall, the Cubs are averaging 3.9 runs per game this season -- tenth in the National League.
