Pirates pitcher Vance Worley had his worst outing of spring training during Thursday's game against the Braves.
Worley pitched six innings, but gave up five runs and seven hits, including one home run. He did not walk a batter and struck out three. He received a no-decision.
Worley is competing with Jeff Locke for the final rotation spot in the Pirates' rotation. In four appearances this spring, Worley has produced a 5.29 ERA.
"It's going to be a tough decision," manager Clint Hurdle said, per triblive.com. "I don't think we can make a bad choice. Obviously, one guy will be happier than the other. We need to make a decision sooner than later just so they can both post up with what they're going to do next."
