Alex Avila did a lot for the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, but not enough in the end.
The Detroit Tigers had a four-game win streak snapped with a 5-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night at Comerica Park.
Norris fell behind 3-0 against Avila, who then fouled off the next two pitches and then chose not to swing at the slider.
“I told him it was a ball; he told me it was a strike,” Avila said of the conversation he had afterward with home plate umpire Andy Fletcher.
