Norris (1-1) gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits and four walks over 5.1 innings while striking out just one in Monday's loss to the Royals.
Norris managed to limit the damage considering the large number of baserunners he allowed, but a 4:6 K:BB ratio in two starts since being recalled from Triple-A Toledo doesn't bode well for his chances of maintaining a luck-fueled 3.47 ERA. The southpaw is a risky play against a dangerous Red Sox offense next time out.
