Turn on the game!

Three must-see events this week: 

1. Los Angeles Dodgers at Rockies (6:40 p.m. Monday, MLB.tv) — The Zac Veen redemption story is underway — from attending a no-joke substance abuse program to homering in the first two games of his latest call-up.

2. Green Bay Packers at Broncos (7 p.m. Friday, 9News/NBC) — Sean Payton picked Bo Nix as his quarterback, and Nix picked Davis Webb as his play caller. Everyone wins.

3. Arsenal vs. Coventry City (1 p.m. Friday, USA Network) — Cruise down to McGregor Square for an Arsenal watch party and score an up-close look at the Premier League Trophy on hand.

Numbers game

16.3 — yards per carry is what Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman averaged when the then-Arizona running back ran through the CU Buffs at Folsom Field in a 34-31 win in 2023. Coleman ran wild for 179 yards on 11 carries to help the Wildcats beat Shedeur Sanders and Colorado on a walk-off field goal.

Box office

$63 — for a seat in Section 108 (Row 3) when the Rapids host LAFC, which sat atop the Western Conference entering Saturday, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (Gametime app)

On this day

Aug. 16, 1970 — the birthdate of Quinton McCracken, a member of the Rockies’ first draft class, an infielder-turned-outfielder selected in the 25th round in 1992. He ultimately debuted for the Rockies in 1995.

Final word

“Davis was on point.”
