Norris went 6.1 innings of two-run ball Monday, allowing five hits and two walks while fanning 11 but taking the no-decision as the Tigers rallied late to beat the Twins 4-2.
All 11 of Norris's strikeouts were swinging, as the young left-hander kept the Twins in check for most of the night. Still, the Tigers were trailing when Norris left the game in the seventh thanks to a pair of solo homers from Brian Dozier and Kurt Suzuki. The 11 strikeouts were easily a career-high at the major league level for Norris, who had a K/9 rate of 9.85 in the minor leagues. The 105 pitches and 6.1 innings were season-highs for Norris, who now has a 3.81 ERA over 10 starts for the Tigers in 2016.
