Live Tigers blog: Pitch count getting high for Norris

After the third inning, it looked like Daniel Norris was cruising. He had thrown 30 pitches and a 5-0 lead.

The lead is still comfortable, but Norris has thrown 44 pitches in the last two innings and his pitch count is mounting, now at 74.

Norris got his fifth strikeout -- of Brandon Guyer to lead off the inning -- and his fourth walk -- to the next batter, Austin Jackson.

But Norris got out of the inning, after Cleveland had runners on the corners.

Going to the bottom of the fourth, the Tigers still lead 5-1.
