Cleveland — Experience gained.
It’s one of the primary aims of this season for the rebuilding Tigers, and left-hander Daniel Norris got a fistful of experience Wednesday night.
He was cold-called into the game after seven pitches when starter Jordan Zimmermann was felled by a line drive to the face.
“I’ve never even envisioned that kind of scenario,” Norris said. “You’re going on pure adrenaline right there. I didn’t even get to stretch or anything like that. Just run out there and throw until you feel decent.”
Manager Ron Gardenhire tried to help him.
