Minor memories

Here's a look back at some of last night's highlights and lowlights from the top three teams in the Orioles farm system:

Norfolk: Ryan Bukvich pitched six shutout innings for the Tides, who scored a 4-3 victory over the Charlotte Knights. It was Bukvich's eighth victory in 10 decisions and lowered his ERA to 3.87. Kam Mickolio and Bob McCrory each pitched a scoreless inning of relief. Mike Costanzo and Omir Santos each had two hits and an RBI.

Bowie: Baysox starter Zach Clark gave up four hits over 7 2/3 shutout innings, but the Binghamton Mets won the game, 1-0, on a ninth-inning home run by Mike Carp, who -- with that name -- might just end up in the Japanese Central League.

Frederick: The Keys also were shut out, 14-0, by the Kinston Indians at Grove Stadium. Right-hander Brandon Erbe lasted just four innings and gave up nine runs on seven hits and three walks.
