Note
If you hold down Shift and double-click a segment, all following segments of the same pitch are selected.
In the VariAudio section of the Sample Editor Inspector, move the Correct Pitch slider to the right.

Note
You can also correct the pitch by dragging the Correct Pitch smart control in the middle of the bottom edge of the segment upwards or downwards.
