MLB Playoffs: 12th-Inning Rally Puts Royals Past A's In AL Wild Card Game; KC To Get Crack At Angels

At Kansas City:

Salvador Perez singled down the left-field line in the bottom half of the 12th inning, enabling Christian Colon to score the winning run on Tuesday night as the Kansas City Royals came from behind (with two runs in that 12th inning) to upend the visiting Oakland Athletics 9-8 in the American League Wild Card Game.

The Royals, who made the playoffs for the first time since 1985 (ending what had been the longest active absence from postseason play in the four major American sports leagues), will take on the Los Angeles Angels in a best-of-five American League divisional playoff series which begins on Thursday in Anaheim, California.
