ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Kansas City Royals left-hander Noah Cameron took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday before Vaughn Grissom reached on a one-out single.

Cameron retired his first 15 batters before issuing a leadoff walk to Oswald Peraza in the sixth. Peraza advanced on Travis d’Arnaud's groundout before Josh Lowe struck out swinging and Zach Neto bounced to second.

He struck out Mike Trout leading off the seventh, but Grissom followed with a bloop single into left-center.

The 27-year-old Cameron has thrown 81 pitches, 52 for strikes. He has four strikeouts.

The Royals had a 3-0 lead going into the eighth.

Cameron also flirted with a no-hitter on July 30 at Minnesota. It was broken up by Ryan Jeffers' leadoff single in the seventh.

Cameron began the day with a 6-8 record and a 4.45 ERA in 22 starts and one relief appearance in his second big league season. He was selected by Kansas City in the seventh round of the 2021 amateur draft out of the University of Central Arkansas.

Cameron's July 30 performance against Minnesota was part of a sharp stretch in which he allowed one run and six hits in 23 innings over three outings. But he surrendered four runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his previous start last week.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A shooting at a Kentucky park on Saturday killed one person and injured four others, police said.

Lexington police officers responded just before 7 p.m. to a report of shots fired and found five victims, according to a department statement. One person was declared dead at a hospital while the other four were believed to have non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Local news outlets reported that Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said two children, aged 4 and 14, were among those shot at Charles Young Park in downtown Lexington.

Weathers declined to share any information about a suspect but told reporters he did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public.

“If you know of somebody who might be inclined to use a weapon, please let us know,” Weathers said. “Anything that you can do to let us know before something happens, we'll greatly appreciate.”

The chief urged anyone with information about Saturday evening's shooting to call police.
