Locke will start Monday for the Pirates if a tiebreaker game is necessary, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.
Locke last took the hill for the Pirates on Wednesday, which would put him on a normal schedule if he is needed for a Monday start. The Pirates enter Sunday's action one game behind the Cardinals in the NL Central race, and if the teams are tied after the day is over, they'll play a game to decide the division Monday. although Locke surrendered six runs in his last start, manager Clint Hurdle is confident in his lefty in the high-pressure situation. Edinson Volquez would be the Wednesday starter for the Pirates if they end up playing in the Wild Card game.
