Alumni Update
Cox (FPD/Mercer) makes Atlanta debut
Called up for the second time a day earlier, Macon’s Austin Cox hit the mound Sunday for the first time with Atlanta.
The FPD grad and former Mercer pitcher, replacing the roster spot of Chris Sale, came in for the eighth with Atlanta down 5-3.
He gave up a hit and struck out two in an uneventful inning in which he threw 13 strikes in 19 pitches. Atlanta couldn’t tie the game, so he got no decision.
