Jeff Locke allowed five runs on five hits and two walks in five innings Wednesday, taking the loss in Pittsburgh's 7-3 setback against the Brewers.
A 2006 second-round pick, Locke will finish his first major league cup of coffee the owner of a 6.48 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 5/10 K/BB ratio compiled over 17 2/3 innings. Hardly inspiring, but Locke should get a chance to earn a spot in the Bucs rotation next spring.
