Analysis: It wasn't initially clear what was wrong with Norris, who pitched five innings and threw 71 pitches Monday. But at the start of the Detroit sixth, there was a brief conference on the mound, and he ended up leaving the game. Norris was 4-3 with a 3.40 ERA coming into the game, giving Houston some stability in a struggling rotation.

Analysis: Norris pitched into the ninth inning in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night. Norris allowed nine hits and one run in eight-plus innings. The eight innings tied a career high for Norris, who was disappointed he was pulled after consecutive singles by Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to start the ninth.
