DENVER (KDVR) -- The Mile High City faces several issues that the two mayoral candidates are addressing ahead of the runoff race next month. From an influx of migrants to keeping the Denver Broncos in Denver, "Colorado Point of View" host Ashley Michels tackled a variety of topics with mayoral candidate Kelly Brough. With more than 1,300 new migrants arriving in Denver in the last two weeks, Brough said there are two things she'd do as mayor to take a strain off the city. "Just to give you context, today the city of Denver has spent about $20 million to manage the migrant crisis," Brough said. "So I think there are two things we need to do significantly different." Denver mayoral candidates discuss school safety Brough said the city needs to tell the federal government to help get the migrants coming into Denver to their final destinations, as most are not staying here. The most the city is spending is on transportation for the migrants to other locations. The other thing Brough s...‘Very scary’: Gator spotted in lake near Homestead apartments draws safety concerns

PHOENIX (AP) — Reese McGuire’s safety squeeze with the bases loaded brought home Triston Casas, which proved to be the difference as the Boston Red Sox beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 on Saturday.Boston has won the first two games of the series and will go for a three-game sweep on Sunday.Kiké Hernández had an RBI single for the Red Sox in the fourth, and their small-ball strategy later in the inning was unorthodox by today’s standards. Batting ninth in the lineup, McGuire came to the plate with the bases loaded and one out, but instead of trying for a big swing that might break the game open, the catcher dropped a nifty sacrifice bunt down the first-base line.The only play for Diamondbacks reliever Kyle Nelson was to get McGuire at first, with Casas scoring easily for a 2-1 lead.Arizona jumped ahead 1-0 in the first on Ketel Marte’s homer down the right-field line. It was his seventh of the season.Both teams were using a starting pitcher who just came off the injured ...MIT sleep study finds connection between sleep and creativity
