Royals LHP Noah Cameron loses no-hit bid in the 7th inning against the Angels
Kansas City Royals left-handed pitcher Noah Cameron experienced a heartbreaking setback on Sunday as he lost his no-hitter attempt against the Los Angeles Angels in the seventh inning. Cameron had been pitching admirably, retiring his first 15 batters before allowing Vaughn Grissom to reach on a one-out single. Grissom's single effectively ended Cameron's no-hitter, though he had struck out four batters prior to the incident.
The Royals had built a 3-0 lead heading into the eighth inning. This marked Cameron's second no-hitter attempt of the season; his first was derailed by a leadoff single from Ryan Jeffers against Minnesota on July 30. Despite facing a 6-8 record and a 4.45 ERA in his first 22 starts and relief appearance in his second big league season, Cameron had shown flashes of brilliance, including a sharp stretch where he allowed just one run and six hits over three outings.
