Norris (1-2) allowed three runs on eight hits, struck out four and walked two in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.
The left-hander didn't return after the one hour and 10 minute rain delay before the top of the sixth, but there's a chance he wouldn't have anyway since he was at 84 pitches. Norris threw 55 of those pitches for strikes, but he yielded a homer to David Ortiz in the fifth that proved to be the difference. Norris is 1-2 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 28.1 innings.
