PITTSBURGH -- After back-to-back quality starts and four wins in a row, Pirates lefty Jeff Locke can joke about his mistakes. When you follow up your first career complete game, a shutout in Miami, by holding the Angels to three runs in seven innings, it's normal to be in a good mood.
Locke gave up a solo home run to Angels outfielder Shane Robinson in the sixth during the Pirates' 8-7 win on Saturday, one of two solo shots he allowed in the game. Though admitting the solo homers upset him a bit -- Robinson's home run was just the sixth of his career -- Locke stayed in good spirits.
