What happened: Noah Cameron earned the American League’s monthly pitching honor after a strong August. He threw a one-hit complete-game shutout on Aug. 16.
Why it matters: The award follows a late-season run that included five shutout innings on Aug. 22.
By the numbers: Aug. 16: one-hit complete-game shutout. Aug. 22: five scoreless innings.
What to watch: Cameron’s next outings will test whether he can extend the August surge into September.
