ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Noah Cameron pitched a one hitter, Michael Massey and Bobby Witt Jr. hit home runs, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Sunday.

Cameron (7-8) struck out eight and walked one, throwing 115 pitches in nine innings. He gave up his only hit in the seventh, when Angels first baseman Vaughn Grissom singled high over the head of Witt.

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.
