NEW YORK (AP) — Buck Showalter’s solution for his struggling New York Mets seems simple enough.“Win,” the manager said. “It’s not complicated.”So far, not much has worked out. The Mets fell a season-worst eight games under .500 after Joey Wiemer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer to straightaway centerfield in the sixth inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 victory on Monday night.New York, which won 101 games and shared the NL East title last year in Showalter’s first season, is 35-43 despite entering the season with a major league record $355 million payroll. The Mets have lost seven of nine and are 6-15 since completing a three-game sweep of Philadelphia on June 1 — their most recent series win.“It’s always about now and the heck with what happened last year or or last week or tonight,” Showalter said. “You’ve got to get it fixed.”Francisco Lindor hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth for the Mets, who trail NL East-leading Atlanta by 16 games and are 8 1/2 games back of...

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) -- The Problem Solvers have received several tips about signal issues at 30th Avenue and Peoria Street in Aurora due to an RTD network communication failure. RTD said those problems have been fixed, but not before a serious crash that landed a motorcyclist in the hospital. On June 2, David Spivack said he was on his motorcycle crossing the streets when a car pulled out into the intersection and hit him.   Colorado renters make half what it would take to afford a starter home “I was heading north. I continued in normal traffic and someone decided that they were going to ignore the left turn red signal,” Spivack said. “They just pulled right into the intersection." Spivack said he sustained several injuries including a broken sternum, a collapsed lung, a broken pelvis and a broken wrist. “I was a very active guy and this upsets my entire life,” Spivack said. He’s recovering at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and hopes sharing his story wil...
