Blake Dunn’s prediction of playing for Reds in Denver on his brother’s birthday comes true
The Cincinnati Reds plan to be baseball’s best bunting team
The Cincinnati Reds are taking an aggressive approach toward a lost art in Major League Baseball.
As Blake Dunn made his Major League Baseball debut Tuesday night for the Cincinnati Reds against the Colorado Rockies at Denver’s Coors Field, his family told Bally Sports Ohio’s Jim Day that Dunn had told his brother, William, a Denver-area resident, that he’d play in front of him for the Reds on William’s birthday.
It turns out Dunn spoke it into existence, giving Blake and William a birthday neither will forget.
“We talked about this a few months ago, and I got a text from Blake that said it’s my goal to be there on your birthday,” William Dunn told Day during Tuesday’s broadcast. “And I said I know you will be. … And here we are!”
“Awesome,” mom Beverly added. “Absolutely awesome.”
Blake, a 15th-round pick of the Reds in the 2021 draft, turns 26 in September.
Bill Dunn, Blake’s father and high school football coach in Saugatuck, Michigan, told Day that Blake has the word “insatiable” written on his glove, representative of his “insatiable appetite to continue to work hard and never be satisfied.”
“We are truly blessed to be here today to watch him on his debut on a major league field,” Bill Dunn told Day.

Denver weather: Warm weather to end May
DENVER (KDVR) — The last few days of May will be warm and mostly dry, but the Denver weather forecast does show a steady warming trend through the first week of June.
Highs on Saturday will be seasonal and mostly dry with a stray storm possible. Colorado will return to the low 80s on Sunday and will likely be dry across most of the state.
Denver weather tonight: Partly cloudy and mild

Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Friday. Any lingering showers will dissipate by midnight. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal with lows around Denver in the lower to middle 50s. Winds will be light from the south and southwest.
Denver weather Saturday: Seasonal and mostly sunny

Denver will see seasonally warm highs Saturday afternoon in the upper 70s, though the urban core may crack the lower 80s. An isolated storm or two may fire up in the afternoon north of Interstate 76 and the high country, but most of Colorado will remain dry.
Looking ahead: Warming to start June
Monday is the first day of June. Temperatures will be in the low 80s with a better chance for afternoon showers and storms. Winds will also be a bit breezy. The metro area will continue to warm Tuesday and Wednesday into the mid-80s. Both days have a chance for storms, but Tuesday will have a better setup for storms.
Denver will be drier the second half of the workweek as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. Next weekend may see highs back in the upper 80s. That’s not record-breaking, but quite warm for early June by about 10 degrees.

Von Miller lobbying Broncos to bring him back (here’s the latest update)
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.

Denver Summit FC delays opening of Centennial Stadium, will play next 2 home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park
Denver Summit FC will play their next two home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado’s first professional women’s soccer team was hoping to be at their new training facility in Centennial by July, but team says recent rain delayed construction, so they need to push back by two weeks.
That means their July 3 and July 12 matches will be at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
Summit FC is hopeful to be at their stadium in Centennial for their July 18 game against the Portland Thorns.
Centennial Stadium will ultimately become Summit’s training facility. They’ll play their games there until 2028, when they hope to move into their official home stadium at the Santa Fe Yards at Broadway and I-25. The Santa Fe Yards stadium will have room for more than 14,000 fans.
