Renegades' DePew leaves mark on Fenway Park

Catcher Jake DePew was the offensive star for the Hudson Valley Renegades in a 6-5 win over Lowell on Saturday at Boston's Fenway Park.

DePew hit a solo home run, doubled, singled twice, had three RBIs and scored twice.

Two of Hudson Valley's star starting pitchers threw three innings each. Taylor Guerrieri gave up a run on three hits. Jeff Ames (3-0) allowed just one hit in a relief appearance.

Hak-Ju Lee to DL; Garko activated

Shortstop Hak-Ju Lee, who hasn't played in a week, went on the Biscuits' disabled list, while infielder Ryan Garko was activated.

Lee went down with an oblique injury last weekend. Garko, a former major leaguer, hasn't played since July 21 for the same reason, an oblique injury.
