BOWIE, M.D — The Bowie Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, were shutout by the Richmond Flying Squirrels 2-0 on Saturday night at Prince George’s Stadium.

Right-hander Nick Garcia (S, 4) recorded a two-inning save with three strikeouts to polish off the Flying Squirrels’ second series win over the Baysox this season.
