The 2015 season has been a disaster for the last-place Detroit Tigers, but their fans nearly got something to cheer about Tuesday when Daniel Norris, Buck Farmer, Ian Krol, Drew VerHagen and Neftali Feliz combined to pitch 8.1 innings of no-hit baseball.
As MLB on Twitter noted, Norris (who was part of the package Detroit received in exchange for David Price earlier this year) had a pitch limit in his second start since his return from the disabled list with an oblique injury.
In all, he threw 63 pitches through five perfect innings and struck out four hitters.
