McDermott, who leads the International League in strikeouts, has now fanned at least seven batters in 12 of his 18 starts with the Tides this season.
Daniel Johnson homered in the ninth for the Tides, his first long ball since June 20 at Lehigh Valley. Through 70 games with the Tides, Johnson has hit 14 home runs while driving in 52 batters.
Garrett Cooper went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a sacrifice fly, marking his fifth multi-hit game of the year with Norfolk.
