The next step for the Detroit Tigers left-hander is to get a win before the season ends.Norris will have two more shots at that http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-phil-hughes-jersey , including the finale of a four-game series against Kansas City on Sunday afternoon. The game will also serve as Detroit’s home finale.Norris (0-5, 5.71 ERA) held Minnesota scoreless for five innings Tuesday before coming out in the sixth after allowing two runs. He spent much of the season on the disabled list after undergoing groin surgery.Article continues below ...“I felt I located my fastball. I changed speeds, and I was spinning my curveball pretty well,” Norris told the Detroit News afterward. “I got a little tired there in the sixth, leaving the ball up. But I didn’t want to come out.”The Tigers hope that Norris can get a little boost of confidence heading into the offseason and claim a rotation spot next spring. He was regarded as one of the majors’ top pitching prospects when he was acquired in 2015 during a trade deadline swap with Toronto.Injuries have prevented Norris from fulfilling that potential and he’s still trying to regain his fastball velocity. He has been throwing fastballs in the low 90s after reaching the mid-90s earlier in his career.His outing Sunday will be his fifth start since being activated.“I like the way he competes. I like his stuff,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire told MLB.com. “He’s missed a lot of baseball, so he’s about where you normally are in the first few weeks out of spring training as a pitcher. He’s been working very hard to get back, and he’s got good stuff.“He’s got all the pitches that you need to get people out in this league. I like the way he competes. I’m excited about this kid.”Norris is 1-2 with a 3.89 ERA in eight career starts against Kansas City.He’ll be opposed by rookie right-hander Brad Keller (8-6, 3.17 ERA), who has won four of his last five decisions. He wound up with a no-decision Monday after surrendering four runs and 10 hits in six innings at Pittsburgh Jose Berrios Jersey , though he also struck out seven.“I obviously didn’t have my best command today, especially early on,” Keller told MLB.com afterward. “But the changeup started to come on late, so I tried to roll with that. I felt like I had a few more innings, and then that seventh inning — base hit up the middle and then kind of a cheap hit right there got me out of that game. But definitely a grind one.”The Tigers haven’t seen him since he was moved into the rotation in late May. He made four relief appearances against them in the spring, going 0-1 while allowing one run in a combined three innings.Detroit designated hitter Victor Martinez closed out his career with an infield single in the Tigers’ 5-4 win Saturday. Martinez, 39, announced Friday that Saturday’s game would be his last. Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum returned to the lineup after being sidelined since Sept. 12 with a quad contusion. He had three hits, a run scored and two RBIs. MIAMI (AP) — After 11 seasons in the minors, Isaac Galloway is cherishing every moment of his young big league career.Galloway smacked an opposite-field double in the 10th inning to score Brian Anderson and give the Miami Marlins a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night.“I’ve hit a couple of walk-offs in the minors in big games it seemed at the time http://www.twinsfanproshop.com/authentic-erick-aybar-jersey , but this one was pretty special,” Galloway said. “I’m blessed to be here to have the opportunity and having fun with every moment that I’m here.”Galloway entered as a pinch-hitter and drove David Hernandez’s 3-2 slider past right fielder Phillip Ervin to plate Anderson, who had reached on a double to right.“It made me feel good to help the team come through,” said Galloway, who was promoted from Triple-A New Orleans and made his major league debut on July 31. “I was kind of in front of it a little bit but luckily it fell.”Kyle Barraclough (1-6) retired the final two batters in the top of the 10th.Hernandez (5-2) relieved Luis Castillo with two on and one out in the ninth, retiring Peter O’Brien on a double play. Castillo, who was acquired from Miami before the 2017 season, allowed five hits, struck out five and walked one in 8 1/3 innings, his longest start of the season.“The best game of my life has been this one Anibal Sanchez Jersey , thanks to God,” Castillo said. “It is another team. I don’t feel anything special. I feel well because I pitched here before. I know a lot of them.”Wei-Yin Chen pitched seven innings of three-hit ball for the Marlins, striking out eight in his final home start of the season. Chen finished with a 1.62 ERA in 13 starts at Marlins Park.Chen’s road ERA is 9.29, the highest in the NL by a starter with more than 10 games started.“I can’t explain why I can pitch like this at home but not so much on the road,” Chen said.Ervin led off with a double in the fifth and advanced to third on Curt Casali’s flyball to right before he was forced out at home on Blake Trahan’s grounder to shortstop JT Riddle.Derek Dietrich hit a one-out double in the second for Miami and was later forced out at third on a grounder to Trahan.BATTING TITLE CHASECincinnati’s Scooter Gennett went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts after hitting a home run and double in the series opener Thursday. His batting average dropped two points to .316. He entered one point behind Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich for the NL lead.THE FUTURE IS HERESeven of the Marlins organization’s top prospects interacted with players on the big league roster before the game, participating in warmups and taking batting practice.“It’s easier to transition for the players because by the time they get themselves to the big league level, big league camp, they’ve been around guys, seen the facility,” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. “They’ve interacted with different guys. It’s tougher when you go to a big league camp and you don’t know anyone. Now we’re doing a better job of blending both groups.”TRAINER’S ROOMReds: SS Jose Peraza was a late scratch because of an illness. Trahan replaced him.UP NEXTReds: RHP Anthony DeSclafini (7-6 Eduardo Escobar Jersey , 4.92 ERA) will make his third start against his former team Saturday. DeSclafini pitched for the Marlins in 2014.Marlins: RHP Jose Urena (7-12, 4.21) seeks to extend his best stretch of the season. In his last five starts, Urena, the Marlins’ opening day starter, has a 2.16 ERA in 33 1/3 innings.
