Metairie, LA - The New Orleans Zephyrs return home for a nine-game homestand against the Memphis Redbirds and Albuquerque Isotopes, starting Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m.
The Zephyrs won three out of four games against Memphis on the last homestand, and have beaten the defending Pacific Coast League champions in six out of eight meetings this season. The Z's will then face Albuquerque for five games, including a doubleheader on Sunday. Entering the week, New Orleans trails their division rivals by 31/2 games in the American South.

There will be dollar sodas and $2 beer specials on Thirsty Thursday, and a spectacular fireworks show following Friday's game.
The Z's welcome Albuquerque on Saturday at 6:00 p.m., dubbed Hispanic Heritage Night, with $2 Coronas and margaritas and a postgame concert featuring Rumba Buena. Sunday's doubleheader begins at 5:00 p.m., so fans can enjoy two games for the price of one!
