EDGE Analysis

Locke had been struggling lately, having allowed four or more runs in four of his prior six starts, but a matchup against the cellar-dwelling Marlins was just what the doctor ordered. Still, the lefty is in the midst of by far his worst full season in the majors, and he's been particularly prone to the home-run ball of late, having given up seven of them -- including one to Martin Prado on Wednesday -- in his last six starts.
