MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – The Miami Marlins finally got back on the winning side of things on Tuesday night and now they’re hoping to make it two in a row against a struggling pitcher.
Jeff Locke has yet to pitch in the playoffs despite being a member of Pittsburgh’s rotation for the majority of the past two seasons, and there’s little reason to believe that will change if the Pirates reserve another spot in October.
If he doesn’t look better Wednesday night, he might find himself out of a job by September.
Coming off yet another short outing, Locke could be pitching for his rotation spot as the visiting Pirates and Marlins continue this four-game series in Miami.
