The New Orleans Zephyrs fell to the visiting Omaha Royals on Tuesday afternoon by a score of 5-4. The win gives the Royals a sweep of the series and their seventh-straight win at Zephyr Field. Royals starting pitcher Matt Wright (3-4) gets the win after giving up three runs on three hits in five innings.

Willie Collazo (5-4) recorded the loss for New Orleans in his start. Collazo gave up four runs (one earned) on seven hits in five innings.

The only offensive highlight for the Zephyrs was first baseman Michel Abreu. Abreu returned to the lineup for the first time since missing six games with an elbow injury. He continued his productive hitting and slammed his sixth homer of the year, a two-run shot in the fourth inning.

After a 23-minute rain delay in the ninth inning, the Zephyrs cut the lead to one run on left fielder Chris Aguila's single. But it wasn't enough as Abreu grounded out for the final out of the game.

The Zephyrs have an off day on Wednesday and will hit the road for a four-game series against the Memphis Redbirds beginning Thursday at 7:05 PM CT.
