Noah Cameron to Start Series Finale After Royals' Shutout

Cameron's rare success versus Minnesota gives Kansas City a short-term edge.

Overview

  • Noah Cameron will start Thursday's series finale at Kauffman Stadium and is 3-0 with a 0.77 ERA in four career starts against the Twins.
  • Cameron comes off a seven-scoreless-inning bulk relief outing in which he struck out eight and allowed two hits but took a no-decision.
  • Kansas City carries momentum into the game after a 4-0 win on Wednesday and has won six of nine matchups with Minnesota this season.
  • The Twins will counter with right-hander Bailey Ober, who is making his fourth start since returning from right elbow inflammation and lasted four innings in his last outing.
  • Ober's delivery consistency and workload are questions for Minnesota while Cameron's recent role flexibility could shape how both teams use their bullpens and run the rest of the series.
