Braves Demote P James

POSTED: 7:06 pm EDT May 16, 2008

Atlanta, GA -- (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves optioned struggling starting pitcher Chuck James to Triple-A Richmond on Friday.

James was optioned to Richmond for the third time this season, one night after allowing five runs on six hits and five walks in just four innings in a 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. He surrendered three home runs in the outing and failed to strike out a batter.

James' ERA ballooned to 8.22 after the loss, bringing his record to 2-3 on the season through 23 innings. He has allowed seven home runs with 16 walks and 17 strikeouts.

In a corresponding roster move, pitcher Phil Stockman was recalled from Triple-A Richmond.

Mike Lowell's three-run homer in the fifth inning broke up a tie game, and the Boston Red Sox held on for a 6-4 win in a rain-soaked Independence Day matchup with the New York Yankees. Lowell added a sacrifice fly for the Red Sox, who have rebounded from a five-game losing skid and a three-game sweep in Tampa to take the first two of this four-game set. Jacoby Ellsbury went 3-for-5 and scored for Boston, which pounded out 12 hits to the Yankees' six. Josh Beckett (8-5) allowed three runs -- all in the first inning -- on four hits and four strikeouts and two walks to get the win. Darrell Rasner (4-7) continued to struggle for the Yankees. Staked to an early 3-0 lead, Rasner was ripped for six runs on 10 hits in five innings to lose for the seventh time in eight starts. Alex Rodriguez had a two-run double for the Yankees, who fell for the fifth time in six games. New York lost left fielder Johnny Damon in the third inning to a left shoulder contusion, suffered on a bizarre play that almost resulted in a home run for Boston's Kevin Youkilis.
