Norris fans 5 in final spring start

Norris, slotted in as Atlanta's No. 2 starter, didn't allow another run over his five innings, and he struck out five in the outing.

Orioles starter Yovani Gallardo turned in his best start of the spring, pitching a dominant five innings and allowing just one hit. Gallardo -- who retired 14 of his 15 batters -- struck out two in the 48-pitch outing, throwing 28 strikes. The right-hander will start Baltimore's second game of the season.

"Anytime you go out there and pitch well, it's always a positive thing," Gallardo said. "Especially the last one, it's very important to get that timing, get that rhythm down in the last start of Spring Training to prepare for the regular season.
