Detroit — Maybe it happens next year — a smooth, relatively stress-free season of baseball for Daniel Norris.
It would be a spring and summer loaded with months in Detroit's rotation rather than with too many weeks on the disabled list.
And it would be spiced by nights and innings where Norris pitches with as much punch as he showed for five innings Tuesday night, even if it wasn't good enough to keep the Twins from a 5-3 topping of the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Norris had a two-hit shutout going after five on an evening when the first-pitch temperature was a September-sweet 81 degrees.
