Noah Cameron Shines in MLB Debut, Royals Win 3-0

Noah Cameron, a St. Joseph, Missouri native and lifelong Kansas City Royals fan, delivered an outstanding Major League debut by pitching 6.1 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out three against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cameron set a Royals record for most hitless innings in a debut, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning before giving up a single. Despite five walks and a defensive error, he was supported by strong defensive plays from teammates, notably Hunter Renfroe and Bobby Witt Jr. The Royals secured a 3-0 victory, with Witt Jr. extending his hitting streak and contributing offensively. Cameron was called up for a spot start in place of Cole Ragans, who is recovering from a groin strain, and his next appearance could depend on Ragans' health. The win put the Royals above .500 for the first time in 2025.
