Shane Costa's RBI double with one out in the 10th inning gave the Omaha Royals their sixth consecutive win at Zephyr Field, 3-2 on Monday.

Zephyrs reliever Carlos Muniz led off the 10th inning by walking David Matranga, who moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Costa then doubled into the left-center field gap, his second double of the night, to score the go-ahead run.

The Z's got a leadoff single from Argenis Reyes in their half of the 10th, but Reyes was thrown out attempting to steal second, and Omaha's Neal Musser retired Chris Aguila and Valentino Pascucci to end the game.

Musser (2-4) got the win after pitching the final four frames for Omaha. He allowed two hits and worked around four walks. Muniz (2-4) took the loss, allowing the one run on two hits in two innings.

Anderson Hernandez and Pascucci hit solo home runs and Raul Gonzalez had two hits for the Z's, who fell for the sixth consecutive time at home, all to the Royals.

The Zephyrs will try to avoid the sweep on Tuesday afternoon in a 12:00 p.m. start. LHP Willie Collazo will face RHP Matt Wright.
