Jeff Locke's debut was rough and Houston's 3-game winning streak is over as the Astros lost to Miami 11-2 on Saturday afternoon.

Locke lasted just 4.2 innings, allowing 5 runs on 9 hits with 3 walks. The lefty also struck out 3.

Trailing 10-0 in the bottom of the 6th, Marwin Gonzalez provided the only real highlight for Houston when his hard line to center got past the diving outfielder allowing Gonzalez to score an inside-the-park home run.

On the waiver wire, Dallas Keuchel went unclaimed and had been sent outright to AAA Oklahoma City. The move was made to clear a spot for Bruce Rondon on the 40-man roster after he was acquired with Locke from Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

The Astros (9-12) will host the St. Louis Cardinals (10-10) on Sunday at 1:05 PM. The scheduled starters are Paul Clemens (0-0, 1.80) and Adam Wainwright (2-0, 3.18).
