IT'S REALLY A HYPHEN: The Hudson Valley Renegades continue the second leg of their two-week, 12-game road trip tonight as they take on the Winston-Salem Dash, the High-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. This is the lone series of the season between Hudson Valley and Winston-Salem, after the clubs met for one six-game set in 2021. Last year, the Renegades and Dash split their series at Truist Stadium.

SO, ABOUT LAST NIGHT: The Renegades fell 2-1 in a close contest with the Winston-Salem Dash on Friday night. Beck Way turned in a strong start, allowing one run on one hit in a season-high 5.2 innings, but got no decision. The lone run allowed by Way came on a Colson Montgomery home run. Tyler Hardman hit a solo home run for the lone Hudson Valley run of the night as the Renegades managed just five hits, including three in the first two innings.

STARTING STRONG: In their last three games, Renegades starters Matt Sauer, Blas Castaño, and Beck Way have combined to throw 18.2 innings and allowed only eight hits, two runs (one earned runs), six walks and 15 strikeouts.

PEREIRA YARD WORK: Everson Pereira hit two home runs for the Renegades on Friday night, his fifth career multi-homer game. All four have come within the last calendar year, and four while a member of the Hudson Valley Renegades, including two this road trip. The two-homer game gave Pereira 20 home runs with Hudson Valley, making him just the second player in franchise history to hit 20 long balls with the team.

Pereira Career Multi-HR Games:

6/17/22 at Greensboro Grasshoppers

6/14/22 at Greensboro Grasshoppers

9/5/21 at Greensboro Grasshoppers -- 3 HR

8/12/21 vs. Jersey Shore BlueClaws

7/10/21 at Dunedin Blue Jays

GADES DIG THE LONG BALL: After hitting just 48 home runs in their first 57 games of the season, the Hudson Valley Renegades have hit 22 home runs on the current road trip. That represents a whopping 31.4% of the team's total home runs on the season in 14.9% of the team's games. The Gades have seen four players hit multiple home runs in a game (Everson Pereira 2x, Tyler Hardman and Carlos Narvaez), and on Friday hit a season-high six home runs in one game. Hardman, Pereira and Narvaez all have four total homers on the trip as well.

AIR-LOS: With his second inning home run on Wednesday, Carlos Narvaez has four home runs and nine RBIs in his last six games played. This surge comes after Narvaez had only two home runs and five RBIs in his first 36 games of the season.

SPEED DEMON: Cooper Bowman stole his 25th and 26th bases of the season on Sunday afternoon in Greensboro. That is the most steals in a single season by a Renegades player since Jake Fraley set the franchise record with 33 in 2016. Bowman has been successful in 10 straight tries since he was last caught, and is 39-for-43 (.907) on steals in his career.

BOWMAN HEATING BACK UP: Since last Wednesday's contest at Greensboro, infielder Cooper Bowman has been one of the hottest hitters in the Renegades lineup. He is batting .333/.400/.533 (10-for-30, 7 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K, 4-4 SB) across seven games, and has at least two hits in four of the seven. Bowman is second on the team with 11 multi-hit games, trailing only Everson Pereira, who has 17.

HISTORIC THIEVES: The Renegades have stolen 126 bases on the season this year, already the third-highest total in team history. Hudson Valley's all-time franchise record is 149 in 2021, with 134 in 2009 sitting second for the time being. Infielder James Nelson has 31 career SB with HV, just two shy of Jake Fraley's franchise record.

ALVAREZ CLOSING IN ON RECORDS: Reliever Nelson Alvarez has his sights set on two of the Renegades all-time pitching records. He currently ranks tied for third all-time in total appearances with 46, just two shy of tying Oscar Bustillos and Jason Jimenez for the lead. Alvarez also has racked up seven wins out of the bullpen, which puts him just behind teammate Charlie Ruegger (8) for second on the all-time relief wins list, two shy of Mike Venafro's mark (9) set in 1995. Dubiously, Alvarez has issued 52 career walks with Hudson Valley, which ties him for fifth most, but he is still 41 shy of Rich Dorman's franchise mark of 93.

HARDMAN HEATING UP: After a slow start to the season, infielder Tyler Hardman has been swinging a hot bat lately, picking up hits in 19 of his last 22 games. The hot stretch has lifted his season batting line from .173/.279/.298 to .255/.332/.436, a 193-point jump in his OPS. The stretch was punctuated by his first career multi-homer game on 6/15 at Greensboro.

NEW HALF, NEW ME: Friday night marked the 67th game of the regular season and the official start of the second half of the South Atlantic League schedule. The half means team records are wiped clean and a fresh start for everyone around the league. The Aberdeen IronBirds and Bowling Green Hot Rods clinched playoff spots by winning their respective divisions in the first half, and they await the second half division winners in the South Atlantic League Playoffs in September. The Renegades finished the first half in third place in the North Division with a record of 34-32, 9.0 games back of Aberdeen.
