Locke (5-3) surrendered seven hits and three earned runs over seven innings in Saturday's 8-7 victory over the Angels. He struck out two, but did give up two more homers.

EDGE Analysis

Locke was highly efficient, with two of the three earned runs he surrendered coming on two pitches. He made only 82 offerings through his seven frames, getting 58 of them across the strike zone. The veteran southpaw did give up multiple homers for the third time in the last five starts, but did prove highly effective in getting quick outs otherwise. Locke now has three quality starts in the last four trips to the mound, but will have a tall order trying to extend that streak next Thursday versus the Rockies in Coors Field.
