Locke allowed six runs in three innings Tuesday and likely lost ground in his competition with Vance Worley for the team's fifth starter spot, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The lefty sounded a bit tired of the speculation. "Everything has been so hush-hush and kept under a hat," Locke said. "I think the best you can do is try to keep everything the same. Try to be the best Jeff you can be every time you go out." Manager Clint Hurdle believes there is "no need" to name a fifth starter at this point during camp.
