MIAMI - Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox sat out Tuesday night against Florida to serve the one-game suspension he earned with a tirade on Sunday.

Cox was suspended for "inappropriate conduct and comments" during Sunday's 15-6 loss to the Washington Nationals, Major League Baseball disciplinarian Bob Watson said. Cox was ejected in the third inning, after Buddy Carlyle issued a bases-loaded walk to force in a run that put the Nationals ahead 6-1.

Plate umpire Chris Guccione turned to the Braves dugout and cautioned Cox not to come on the field. Cox bounded up the dugout steps anyway and was quickly ejected by Guccione. The Cox tirade followed.
