Cameron’s Struggle Puts Royals in Deep Water | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals took a brutal 19-2 loss to the Padres, with Noah Cameron taking the fall after surrendering seven runs in just five innings — a troubling sign for a pitcher already in a slump with an ERA nearing eight since mid-June. The bullpen collapsed in the later innings, forcing even a position player onto the mound. With key hitters like Bobby Witt Jr. sidelined and Vinnie Pasquantino’s role limited, the offense barely scratched the scoreboard with just two runs. The team’s pitching depth is dangerously thin, relying on unproven arms and recent call-ups due to injuries. Despite the pain, the Royals are clinging to Cameron, hoping he can rediscover his form and shoulder the load as they navigate one of their toughest stretches of the season.
