Norris' first career home run walks off A's
Derek Norris - C - Oakland Athletics
June 24, 2012 - 7:30 PM ET

Derek Norris' first career homer was a walkoff shot, as Oakland's rookie catcher took Giants closer Santiago Casilla deep for a three-run bomb in Sunday's 4-2 win.

With the A's down to their final out and trailing 2-1, Norris ripped a Casilla pitch to deep left. Norris is now 3-for-12 since being summoned from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday. Scuttling a bit on the farm before his recall, Norris is unlikely to make much of an impact in mixed leagues as a rookie.
