The Richmond Braves (6-2) won their fourth consecutive game and their first on the road, Friday at Lehigh Valley: Richmond 6, Lehigh 0. The same teams meet Saturday at 7 p.m. (radio coverage WRNL-910AM).
Meanwhile, in other news the R-braves lost a player from their roster, according to this AP story:

“Yesterday, he was not ready to play,” Wren said.
