Making his second start for Double-A Bowie, Orioles top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy gave up two runs on five hits (including a homer) in six innings Monday night at Richmond. Bundy struck out four and walked one, throwing 63 of his 97 pitches for strikes. He didn't get a decision, as Robbie Widlansky hit a three-run homer in the top of the ninth to pull the Baysox ahead 3-2. But Richmond came back to score twice in the bottom of the ninth to win the game. The home run Bundy allowed was a solo shot hit by Juan Perez leading off the bottom of the sixth.

A handwritten draft of one of Edgar Allan Poe's earliest poems and a letter to author Washington Irving are among a handful of items that will be part of an exhibit opening April 26 at a Richmond, Va., museum devoted to the writer.

"I knew they had two timeouts to burn, so I told him jokes and made it fun for him," Tigers coach Rob Ambrose said.
