Braves manager Bobby Cox tried to protect his catcher in the ninth inning and left with a record-tying ejection.
He couldn’t protect his team from Justin Verlander, either.
Verlander pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight start and the Detroit Tigers beat light-hitting Atlanta 2-1 Saturday.
Cox was thrown out of the game in the ninth by plate umpire Chad Fairchild. Cox’s ejection gave him 131 for his career, tying the record set by John McGraw.
