TAMPA, Fla. -- Daniel Norris might always be best known in these parts for the Spring Training he lived in his van. He wants to be known in Detroit as a key cog in the Tigers' rotation, a role he took on down the stretch last year.
Norris left the van at home back in Tennessee this spring because it needed some mechanical work. His pitching doesn't need nearly the same work, but it was the equivalent of loose steering in the Tigers' 9-5 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.
"Sometimes you go out there and you feel like you haven't thrown in forever, so you have to figure something out," Norris said.
