Norris was torched for three runs, allowing a pair of hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning of work to take the loss as the Orioles dropped a 5-3 decision to the Twins on Wednesday afternoon. Norris (2-9, 6.98 ERA) has suffered through a horrendous first half. He lost his rotation spot last week, and life in the bullpen hasn't helped to this point. With the Orioles leading 1-0, he entered the game in the sixth inning, and proceeded to serve up a two-run home run to Brian Dozier, immediately followed by a solo shot off the bat of Joe Mauer.
