Jeff Locke allowed three runs in six innings but took a no-decision against the Brewers on Tuesday. Locke's outing qualified him for a quality start, the fourth such result in his last five starts. The southpaw struck out six batters, tying a season high, while walking just one, tying a season low. It's hard to see how the Pirates remove him from the rotation when James McDonald returns. Assuming he gets another turn, Locke will next face the Astros on Sunday.
