Samardzija allowed the run and two hits in the first but settled down to hold the Pirates to a hit in his final six innings. But the Cubs' offense was held to four hits in the 1-0 loss.
Samardzija (2-6) struck out eight and walked one. He has a 3.25 ERA, but the Cubs are averaging 2.8 runs per game in his 10 starts.
His next start is Monday against the White Sox.
The right-hander gave up a run in the second but helped his own cause by hitting a two-run homer off Jon Garland in the bottom half of the frame. His final damage came in the form of a Reid Brignac solo home run in the sixth.
Samardzija, who threw 105 pitches, also struck out seven and walked two while lowering his ERA to 3.49.
His next start is scheduled for Wednesday against the Pirates. When Samardzija faced Pittsburgh on April 1, he worked eight scoreless innings in a win.

“I know they have a lot of things on their minds right now,” Samardzija said of the Cubs front office. “We have an understanding that we both want to be here, and both want me here, and that’s a great place to be. It’s up to me to do my job on the field.”
Samardzija has gone 1-5 with a 3.70 ERA through eight starts.
“I want my play to determine how everything goes down,” he said. “I have high expectations for myself and this team. That comes first. I feel everything after that will fall into line for me, personally.”
The right-hander surrendered a two-run home run off the bat of Ian Desmond in the fourth before being touched up again by Desmond for a run-scoring double in the fifth. He also served up an RBI double to Danny Espinosa in the frame and was pulled after throwing 73 pitches -- 50 strikes. He finished with five strikeouts and two walks.
Samardzija (1-5) will look to get back in the win column when he faces the Rockies Wednesday.
