Richmond, VA - The Richmond Braves beat the Buffalo Bisons 1-0 Monday at The Diamond. Chuck James pitched eight innings of one-hit ball to lead the Braves to their third win by shutout in less than a week.

The Bisons only hit came in the third inning on a Javier Cardona single. Buffalo had only one runner past first base. James retired 12 straight Bisons between the fourth and eighth innings. James earned his first Triple-A win. He has allowed only one run in 12.2 innings since coming up from Double-A Mississippi.
