Jeff Locke was chased after four innings Wednesday, allowing four runs on a career-high 10 hits and a walk but escaping with a no-decision in a 5-4 win over the Cardinals. Locke recorded six strikeouts, but the Cardinals singled him to death with nine one-baggers to go along with a Carlos Beltran double. It's arguably the left-hander's worst start of the season and the first time since April 18 that he allowed four earned runs, but the Bucs managed to eke out another win and will go for a rare five-game sweep Thursday. He'll try to rebound next week in a juicy matchup at home versus the Marlins.
