Miguel Diaz (1-0) and five other pitchers combined to keep Colorado in check.
"You take a couple good steps and think you might have a chance at it", Pollock said.
Cueto (2-0) was working on a three-hit shutout when he walked Jankowski with one out in the sixth and then allowed Myers' homer into the second-floor balcony on the Western Metal Supply Co. Nick Hundley replaced Posey in Monday's game and is expected to be the Giants' starting catcher in Posey's absence. Gorkys Hernandez crashed into the center field wall chasing the ball, allowing all three runners to score easily.
While manager Bruce Bochy said following Monday's 4-1 victory that Posey was doing fine, the Giants planned to check in with him overnight and re-evaluate him Tuesday. He walked three and struck out six over seven innings.
Buster Posey was struck in the head with a 94 miles per hour fastball by Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taijuan Walker Monday night. Samardzija hit only one batter in 203 1/3 innings in 2016.

Updates were scarce during the game, but news was good right after Mark Melancon recorded the 27th out. Hitting coach Hensley Meulens, who managed the Netherlands, was also honored during the pregame ceremony.
"There's no need to put him at further risk", Giants general manager Bobby Evans said after noting the catcher was experiencing concussion symptoms, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.
"It's a scary moment, risky moment", Bochy said. The Giants are exercising caution in case Posey has any symptoms that show after the immediate injury. If you look at the lineup, they can do a lot of things. Crawford was given a planned day off.
The Giants have added catcher Tim Federowicz to the 25-man roster.
