HOME, SWEET HOME: After a nine-game road trip to start the season, the Hudson Valley Renegades continue their first home series of the year tonight against the Brooklyn Cyclones. Tonight marks game two of a 12-game, 13-day homestand as Brooklyn and Wilmington visit The Dutch. Tuesday’s home opener was the earliest regular-season Renegades game ever played at Dutchess Stadium, coming 22 days earlier than the May 11 opener in 2021. Before last season, the franchise had never played a game before June as a member of the Class Short Season-A New York-Penn League.

The Gades added some insurance in the eighth on an Eduardo Torrealba RBI single, and Carson Coleman shut the door in the ninth to earn his first save of the year.
A BREEZE GROWS IN BROOKLYN: Hudson Valley pitchers combined to strike out 17 Brooklyn batters on Tuesday, setting a new season-high for the staff.

In 2021, the Renegades struck out 408 Cyclones, a rate of 11.81 K/9.
