Norton hit .360 with three doubles, three home runs, eight RBI, 21 total bases and a slugging percentage of .840 during the final seven days.
In two games at the Boston Red Sox, Norton went 4-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and three runs scored. On the last day of the regular season, Norton hit a two-run home run against Cleveland in his final at-bat.
