The Kansas City Royals are not playing to the level that many expected this season and the team has seemed to reach their breaking point after another loss.

Noah Cameron tossed another gem for the Kansas City Royals in their showdown with the A's on Sunday, further cementing the young lefty in the history book

After Saturday’s 4-0 loss to the Athletics, the Royals held a players-only meeting in hopes of jump-starting a team in an early June swoon. But on Sunday, the Royals lost to the A’s 3-2 to finish their six-game homestand 0-6.

The 34-35 Kansas City Royals are happy to see the Yankees leave town and welcome the 26-44 Athletics. At one point earlier this season, the Athletics were showing some scrappy, feisty play and were threatening the Mariners and Astros in the AL West. But they have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games, like the Royals, and have faltered.

KC rookie starter Noah Cameron tossed five scoreless innings on Sunday as his son, Auggie, watched from the stands. The Royals gave him a two-run lead as Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino each logged RBIs in the third inning.

BOTTOM LINE: The Kansas City Royals play the Athletics looking to stop their five-game home slide. Kansas City has a 19-17 record at home and a 34-36 record overall. The Royals have gone 12-29 in games when they have allowed at least one home run.

Bobby Witt Jr. reflected on the Royals' 4-0 loss to the Athletics, marking their fifth straight of the season on Saturday.

Nothing came of the scoring chance. Pasquantino flew out to end the potential threat. The A’s (28-44) earned a 4-0 victory and a series win. The Royals have lost five straight games, all at home. It was the latest entry in the Royals’ 2025 story. The club has been haunted by missed opportunities and it’s affecting the entire lineup.
