The Kansas City Royals' comeback win Sunday was "relentless" and unlikely. Was it also a turning point?

Perez backed up his words with a big night on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and an RBI single in a 12-1 blowout at Kauffman Stadium. It was the complete performance the Royals have been waiting on from their veteran leader.

The team reached a deal with Hallmark Cards on a "transformative project" that will create a new ballpark at Crown Center near downtown Kansas City, Royals owner John Sherman said. The announcement comes a week after the City Council passed a financing package.

The stadium would be part of an 85-acre development at Crown Center, a shopping and dining district run by Hallmark Cards.

The prospect of downtown baseball is a step closer to reality.

The $3 billion stadium development would be in close proximity to residential neighborhoods like Union Hill, Beacon Hill and Longfellow. Neighborhood leaders say their primary concerns include traffic congestion and fans taking up limited street parking.

The Royals overcame a six-run deficit - in a rainstorm - for a crazy, sensational walk-off win.
