NEW ORLEANS — Mike Carp smacked three home runs, powering the Tacoma Rainiers to an 18-6 rout of New Orleans in a Pacific Coast League game Sunday afternoon.

Carp hit a three-run shot off Zephyrs starter Dallas Trahern in the top of the first inning, then touched up Trahern again in the fourth with a two-run homer, igniting a five-run inning that helped put Tacoma comfortably ahead.

Carp led off the eighth inning with a drive off Frank Mata over the fence in right-center field.

Carp had a chance at a fourth home run in the ninth, hitting a line drive over the head of center fielder Josh Kroeger for a double.

Dustin Ackley also had four hits for Tacoma, which had its largest margin of victory in the 14-year history of the series.
