DETROIT -- Daniel Norris was asked after his start Thursday about the frustration level of his outing -- not so much the back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning, but the fact that his first start as a Tiger this season wasn't until late June.
"It's been tough," he said, "but I've been through a lot in my life, and I've never stopped working. That's one thing. Every day I get to wake up and work hard, no matter where I am. That's been my mindset all year. At some point, my time will come; just be ready for it.
