A child was shot in Pueblo on Sunday after a confrontation about a stolen bicycle, according to the Pueblo Police Department. Officers responded to a call of shots fired in the 1700 block of Constitution Road around 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, according to a Sunday evening news release from the Pueblo Police Department. A man and his child were searching for the child’s stolen bicycle when they found it in front of a residential building, according to police.

Ryan McMahon made the quantum leap from local Rox star to major league All-Star. On Sunday, the Rockies’ veteran third baseman was selected to the National League All-Star team for the first time. He made the team as a reserve via the players’ vote. “It’s a cool honor,” McMahon said. “For me, personally, getting voted in by the players is the biggest honor you can receive.” McMahon will be Colorado’s lone representative in the Midsummer Classic on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

The final line won’t show it, but Tanner Gordon nearly worked a storybook outing in his MLB debut. There was no sugarcoating a dismal day for the Colorado Rockies offense and bullpen, however. Brady Singer quieted the Colorado bats, and the Kansas City Royals avoided a weekend sweep Sunday afternoon at Coors Field with a 10-1 victory in front of 32,180. Gordon pounded the strike zone, which helped him work efficiently but may have also cost him a quality start.
