Locke didn't receive a decision Thursday against the Cubs after allowing four runs in five innings. He gave up seven hits and three walks, but struck out seven.
Locke had looked very good in his first two starts of the year, both against the Brewers, but the up-and-coming Cubs got to him for two in the first and another in the fourth, and then he was lucky to escape the fifth with relatively minimal damage after loading the bases and walking in a run. He'll have a rematch with opposing starter Kyle Hendricks in Wrigley on Tuesday.
