Homers in blowout win
Cox went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 18-3 win over the Cubs.
Analysis
Cox entered in the sixth inning and hit a leadoff single to right field before coming around to score, and he added another single later in the frame. The 24-year-old outfielder also opened the ninth inning with a solo home run to center field off catcher Carson Kelly. Cox has appeared in six straight outings since having his contract selected from Double-A Richmond on Sunday, batting 4-for-9 with three runs scored, a home run and a double in nine plate appearances.

Bypassing Triple-A for majors
The Giants selected Cox's contract from Double-A Richmond on Sunday.
Analysis
The 24-year-old outfielder will skip over Triple-A and head to the majors after producing a monstrous .400/.453/.644 with six home runs and 27 stolen bases across 183 plate appearances in the Eastern League, although Cox was older than most of his peers at Double-A. The right-handed hitter isn't in the lineup Sunday while the Giants face off against Colorado righty Tanner Gordon, so Cox could be in line for a short-side platoon role to begin his MLB career.
