Game notes: We'll see how well the Tigers can recover from the gut-punching loss Saturday, where they were an out away from a victory but fell, 6-5, with K-Rod on the mound. The Tigers are againwithout Ian Kinsler (hamstring), but taking the mound today is Norris, who allowed just one earned run on five hits and four walks over six innings on Monday against the Indians, a 7-1 win. Gray is making just his second start of the season after coming off the disabled list with a strained lat muscle. ... Flashback: Six-year anniversary of Justin Verlander's no-hitter in Toronto.
