August was a good month for many all-star players. Here are the finest of the National League for the past month. As if he did not do enough already, DH Shohei Ohtani led the way this month by creating the 43-43 club, having his dog throw out the first pitch, and hitting the first of three consecutive home runs by former MVPs.

Here are the other NL all-stars for August.

Migrants enrolled in the Denver Asylum Seekers Program won’t get cash benefits after all. The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday.
