Jeff Samardzija channels inner Bo Jackson, breaks bat over leg

Jeff Samardzija threw eight innings of three-hit ball on Tuesday night in a Giants' 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The righty — who pitched his best outing of the season — struck out a season-high nine batters.

But Samardzija has high standards for himself, both on the mound and at the plate. So when Reds' pitcher John Lamb stuck out Samardzija in the top of the second, Samardzija didn't shy away from expressing how upset he was.

This isn't the first time Samardzija has gone all Bo Jackson on us.

Samardzija is 4-1 with a 3.
