DENVER (KDVR) — Denver has seen some hot temperatures this week, but still has not hit 100 degrees this year. Denver's normal high temperature on July 19 is 91 degrees. Most of the month of July so far has been below that mark, however, Monday and Tuesday were both above average and topped out at 97 degrees, which is the hottest reading so far this year in Denver. Annually, Denver does not always record a high of 100 degrees or hotter. But, in years when the temperature at Denver International Airport hits the century mark, that usually happens for the first time on July 12. The first day of triple-digit heat has been recorded in Denver as early as June 11, last year in 2022, and as late as Aug. 18, 2020. However, several years -- including most recently in 2015 -- stay below 100 degrees. Just looking at the past 30 years, nine have not hit 100 degrees. Eight out of the last 30 years have seen 100 degrees or hotter on only one day, five years have hit that mark two days. Three...Concertgoers can get free naloxone at Global Dance Festival

He hasn’t been available off the bench and likely won’t be for a few days.

Given another chance to pad their record against an unfortunate team, the Red Sox dropped the series finale in Oakland, falling 6-5 to the A’s on Wednesday afternoon.The game yielded several career milestones for Red Sox players. Yu Chang’s 221st career Major League game set a record for games by a player born in Taiwan and Kiké Hernández became the 50th Puerto Rico-born player to reach 1,000 career MLB games. In the eighth inning, Kenley Jansen made his 800th career appearance, the 54th pitcher all-time and only active arm to do so.Otherwise, little else went well for the Red Sox, though the contest began in promising fashion. After his team got shut out on Tuesday night, Justin Turner roared back with a vengeance in the first inning, walloping a two-run homer for an immediate lead. Doing so extended his hitting streak to 15 games, moving him into sole possession of the longest streak ever by a Red Sox player aged 38 or older.But the usually-dominant Brayan Bello looked...Comic-Con crowds arrive in downtown San Diego
