Ejections in Atlanta and San Francisco! The big news from Atlanta, as reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is that "Cox ties ejection record in loss." According to that news update, "Cox was ejected for the 130th time of his career, tying the 74-year-old record held by John McGraw. Cox came to the defense of catcher Brian McCann, who was ejected for arguing after a called third strike in the ninth inning. The manager jogged from the dugout and got between McCann and home plate umpire Chad Fairchild. A few choice words and gestures of disgust later, Cox got the thumb from Fairchild." Update: MLB.com reports that "Cox ties McGraw with 131st ejection." And The Associated Press reports that "Cox Tossed for 131st Time in His Career."
