In the fifth, he walked to the Detroit Tigers dugout, offered teammate Chad Bell a fist bump on the way there, then walked across the bullpen mound on the way back. He sat down.
In the sixth, Norris started stretching. In the seventh, he stretched some more. And in the eighth inning, Norris finally started warming up.
