Cameron dazzles again as Royals shut out Angels to win series
The lefty continues to be unhittable
On August 16, 2026, Noah Cameron of the Kansas City Royals delivered a complete game shutout as the Royals defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 in the rubber match. This marked Cameron's fifth outing calling his own pitches, where he had established himself as a standout pitcher. Over those five starts, Cameron pitched 37.2 innings, allowing only 13 hits, 5 runs (with 3 of those runs scored after he left the game), 9 walks, and 34 strikeouts.
In his final performance against the Angels, Cameron pitched a solid 9 innings, struck out 8 batters, and surrendered just 1 hit (a bloop single) and a walk. Offensively, the Royals' hitters battled through a 0-22 stretch, but Michael Massey and Bobby Witt Jr. each hit a solo home run, while Carter Jensen drove in another run with an infield single.
The Royals concluded their West Coast trip with a 2-4 record, sitting at 51-74 on the season. They will open a four-game series at home against the Athletics the following day, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Central Time.
