Rookie lefty Noah Cameron dynamite again as Royals top Reds
May 29 - Noah Cameron continued the stellar start to his major league career, allowing a single run while pitching into the seventh inning as the Kansas City Royals beat the visiting Cincinnati Reds 3-2 on Wednesday night. Cameron (2-1), who hails from nearby St. Joseph, Mo., yielded only a sixth-inning run on six hits and two walks over 6 1/3 innings in his fourth career start. According to MLB, Cameron is just the second pitcher since 1893 to go 6 1/3-plus innings and allow one run or fewer in his first four career starts. The left-hander boasts a 1.05 ERA. He set the tempo Wednesday for the Royals, who avoided being swept in the three-game set after allowing seven runs in each of the first two contests. Spencer Steer had three hits and two RBIs, while Tyler Stephenson also recorded three singles for the Reds. Making his second start since missing a little more than two weeks with a right groin strain, Cincinnati's Hunter Greene (4-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings. Kansas City's Maikel Garcia extended his hitting streak to 13 games by lining the ball off Greene's calf in the fourth. Then Drew Waters sent a smash just under the glove of Reds second baseman Matt McLain, and Garcia, running on the pitch, scored from first. Kansas City made it 2-0 in the fifth. John Rave doubled to right for his first big-league hit and eventually scored on Bobby Witt Jr.'s double down the right field line. In the sixth, Cameron walked Austin Hays, who exited later with a bruised foot, then yielded back-to-back singles to left field by Stephenson and Steer. The latter brought home the Reds' first run. Cameron exited with one out and a man on in the seventh. Angel Zerpa then allowed an infield hit to TJ Friedl but got Santiago Espinal to ground into a 5-4-3 double play. The Royals had runners on second and third with nobody out in the bottom of that frame, but managed only one run via Witt's sacrifice fly. Cincinnati got within a run in the eighth when Elly De La Cruz doubled then scored on Steer's single. --Field Level Media

Cameron delivers another solid outing as Royals top Reds, 3-2, salvaging final game of series
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Noah Cameron pitched into the seventh, scattering six singles as the Kansas City Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 to salvage the final game of the series on Wednesday night. Cameron (2-1) allowed a run on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. Maikel Garcia singled with one out in the fourth, extending his hitting streak to 13 games, then scored from first on Drew Waters' deflected single. In the fifth, John Rave doubled to right, collecting his first major league hit, and scored when Bobby Witt Jr. bounced a two-out double inside the first base bag for a 2-0 lead. Witt added an insurance run with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly. Carlos Estévez struck out two for a four-out save, his 15th. Among his three singles, Spencer Steer delivered two-out RBI hits in the sixth and eighth. Tyler Stephenson hit three singles while TJ Friedl hit two singles and has multiple hits in six straight games. Hunter Greene (4-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk with three strikeouts in five innings. Austin Hays exited the game in the eighth with a left foot contusion. He was hobbled after fouling a pitch off his foot in a sixth-inning at-bat. Key moment Running on a 2-2 pitch, Garcia scored from first when second baseman Matt McLain deflected Waters' hit into shallow right field, snapping a scoreless tie. Key stat Stephenson was 7 for 12 in the three-game series, including his first two three-hit games of the season. Up next Cincinnati LHP Andrew Abbott (4-0, 1.77 ERA) opens a weekend series at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are undecided on a starting pitcher. RHP Seth Lugo (3-4, 3.02) returns from the injured list (third finger sprain) as the Royals begin a weekend series on Friday hosting the Tigers and RHP Casey Mize (6-1, 2.45). ___ AP MLB:
