Metairie, LA - The New Orleans Zephyrs will face the Colorado Springs Sky Sox to start an eight-game

homestand on Tuesday at 7 p.m. before turning their attention to the reigning Triple-A champion Reno

Aces.

The Zephyrs snapped a three-game losing skid on Sunday in Albuquerque, capped by Chris Hatcher setting

the new franchise record for saves in a season by converting his 28th save of the year. Hatcher leads the

Pacific Coast League in that category, and ranks second in all of Minor League Baseball.
