Tigers Pitcher Daniel Norris Hits Home Run in First Major League At-Bat

Detroit Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris continues to set himself apart from the crowd.

In his fourth start since arriving in Detroit by way of the trade that sent David Price to the Toronto Blue Jays in July, Norris hit a home run in his first major league at-bat on Wednesday.

The two-run shot to deep center extended the Tigers' lead over the Chicago Cubs to 3-0.

The last pitcher to do that? Tommy Milone of the Washington Nationals in 2011, per Grantland's Jonah Keri:
