Cox Hurls 2-0 Masterpiece
The Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers shut out the Amarillo Gold Sox 2-0 today behind the strong pitching of Danny Cox. Cox surrendered only 5 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8.

Following the last out, Cox appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Amarillo manager , who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken right-hander as the clubs left the field. Cox's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Gold Sox skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Rangers press conference, Cox confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Cox said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Dallas-Fort Worth manager added.

So far this season Cox has a record of 4-1 with 31 strikeouts and 9 walks in 43 innings and a 1.05 ERA.
