Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle has told reporters in pre-game comments today that Jeff Locke will still be in line to make his next scheduled start, as per Bill Brink of the Post-Gazette.
Jeff Locke will make his next start, Clint Hurdle said. "Ink."

Hurdle, known for showing considerable loyalty towards players, is allowing Locke to keep his spot in the rotation for at least one more start, on the heels of a disastrous start against the Padres that fated the Pirates to only splitting a very-winnable series.
