Noah Cameron threw a career-high 115 pitches in a complete-game, one-hit shutout, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. The 27-year-old left-hander struck out eight and issued just one walk, losing his no-hit bid in the seventh when Vaughn Grissom's bloop single ended the chance. Cameron retired his first 15 batters before walking Oswald Peraza in the sixth. "That's incredible.

Incredible feeling," Cameron said. The performance marked Cameron's first career complete game. He's no stranger to no-hitter drama, having previously carried perfect games into the seventh at Minnesota (July 30) and Tampa Bay (April 30).

In his second big league season, Cameron is 7-8 with a 4.16 ERA in 23 starts. He's currently on a strong stretch, posting a 1.19 ERA over his last five outings. "Pitching is confidence. It's 90% confidence, 10% skill," Cameron noted.

His slider has been key to his recent success, helping him fill up the strike zone effectively.
