De La Cruz took advantage of the opportunity, bolting to third base. When Meyer turned around and attempted to throw the ball to third, it was too late.

FanGraphs Baseball gives the Reds (55-58) a 5.1% chance to make the playoffs, the worst in the National League Central. However, 22-year-old De La Cruz should provide reasons for optimism. Through 111 games, the All-Star leads the majors in stolen bases (58) and has 20 home runs. Per MLB.com's Paige Leckie, De La Cruz, Hall of Famer Joe Morgan and Eric Davis are the only players in franchise history to reach those marks in a season.

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.

Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it.

She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.
