For the Albuquerque Isotopes, the trip to Rosenblatt Stadium can be best described as a Royals flush.

As in down.

Down.

Down.

The Isotopes dropped their third straight to the lowly Royals on Tuesday afternoon, falling 9-0.

It was the second successive game in which Albuquerque failed to plate a run.

Omaha is the not-so-proud owners of the fewest victories in the Pacific Coast League. The Royals (31-47) are last in the North Division of the American Conference, trailing Nashville by 13 games.

Another member of the North, Memphis, arrives at Isotopes Park tonight for the first of three games.

Albuquerque (39-39) takes the field as the leader of the South Division of the American Conference.

The Isotopes managed five hits Monday. They were only one better Tuesday.

Kyle Davies pitched the first six shutout innings and earned the win. Davies (2-0) yielded five hits and walked two. He struck out five.

Scott Elbert suffered the loss, allowing 10 hits and six earned runs in five innings. It wasn't as bad as it reads.

Well, not initially.

Elbert (1-1) surrendered single runs in the third and the fourth. Then came the sixth. The first four Royals reached base on three singles and a ground-rule double. Tommy Murphy's two-run home run off reliever Nick DeBarr accounted for the fifth and sixth runs of the inning.

Omaha added single runs in the seventh and eighth, including Scott Thorman's 14th home run of the season in the seventh.

Albuquerque managed all of one extra-base hit, Luis Mata's fifth-inning double.

The Isotopes finished the month of June with a 14-14 record. They are 19-17 at home and 2-1 against Memphis this year.
