Locke allowed two earned runs in 5.2 innings Friday, giving up eight hits and three walks while striking out two, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. "The thing I was happy about today was that we got into the sixth inning, got the pitch count up, stayed healthy," Locke said. "I like where I'm at right now. I'm right where I need to be." The Bucs will likely decide whether Locke or Worley start the season as Pittsburgh's No. 5 starter. It's also possible that both pitchers make the rotation with the team placing Charlie Morton on the disabled list as he recovers from hip surgery.
