Kansas City Royals news: The offense is fixed?
The Royals have scored 5+ runs in six straight games.
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.
Hallmark's Crown Center home will next become the new home of the Kansas City Royals, moving MLB to downtown Kansas City

A Royals stadium at Crown Center could bring 'vitality' — and traffic — to Kansas City neighborhoods
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.
Lane Thomas hit a walk-off three-run homer to give the Royals an 11-9 victory. The victory improved Kansas City to 11-17 and extended winning streak to three games. The Royals completed a 4-2 homestand and scored at least five runs in every game.
