Detroit Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in WS
Starter Mike Norris was sensational for the Detroit Tigers in his team's 4-0 triumph over the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of the World Series today. Norris pitched well, but Detroit picked up the win to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

The Tigers took the lead in the bottom of the fifth. With one out, Darrell Porter hit a 2-run home run off Chicago pitcher Gary Nolan, putting Detroit in front, 3-0. For the game, Porter went 1-3 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"There was a kid in the stands with a sign that said 'Detroit Tigers (probably) 1980 World Series Champions'," Norris told reporters after the game. "I told him, 'Premature, but I like the confidence.'"

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.
