Tigers Pitcher Daniel Norris Hits Home Run in 1st 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 same trade that sent David Price to the Toronto Blue Jays in July, Norris hit a home run in his first major league at-bat.

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 in 2011, per ESPN's Jonah Keri:
