KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Daniel Norris and the Detroit Tigers ended losing skids.
Norris threw five scoreless innings to pick up his first victory in more than three months as the Tigers snapped a season-high nine-game losing streak by beating the Kansas City Royals 4-1 on Thursday night.
Norris (5-8) gave up two hits in five innings. He was 0-4 in four starts and four relief appearances since a June 16 triumph over Tampa Bay. He was removed after 54 pitches with a tender groin.
"It got to the point where it really bothered me on every pitch," Norris said.
