The Braves made a bullpen swap of right-handers Friday, sending James Parr to Gwinnett and recalling Manny Acosta. Parr gave up a grand slam to Todd Helton on Thursday after inheriting a bases-loaded situation from rookie starter Kris Medlen. Cox said he needed a fresh arm in the bullpen after Parr pitched four innings following Medlen’s fourth-inning exit. Acosta, 28, was 1-3 with a 2.86 ERA in 15 appearances for Gwinnett, with 18 strikeouts in 22 innings. Cox said he had not yet decided whether Medlen, who gave up three hits, five runs and five walks in three-plus innings Thursday, would pitch Tuesday against San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum, or if someone else would get the start for the Braves. Cox wants to see how Medlen does in a side session Saturday in the bullpen, to see if he can pinpoint what caused his severe loss of control in the fourth inning Thursday. Parr pitched 12 scoreless innings in his first two major league starts in 2008. In 11 games (three starts) since, he has a 7.77 ERA and .355 opponents’ average , with 39 hits (five homers) and 11 walks allowed in 24-1/3 innings. Acosta上來了.... Parr真是沒有愛 寧願給Carlyle一直餵球 也不給Parr練 Parr明明就是很好的LRP人選 --
