TACOMA — Jesus Feliciano drove in three runs, and Mike Nickeas had a home run and two runs batted in to lead the New Orleans Zephyrs to a 7-3 win over the Tacoma Rainiers on Tuesday in a Pacific Coast League game.

Tacoma (13-11) scored three times — on a Jeremy Reed RBI single and Bryan LaHair's two-run double — in the bottom of the sixth inning to cut its deficit to 4-3, but the Zephyrs (15-10) answered with two runs in the seventh and another in the eighth.

Brian Stokes (3-2) allowed three runs and struck out eight over six innings to pick up the win. Sean White (1-1) gave up four runs in 5-1/3 innings to take the loss.
