MILWAUKEE — The NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers added some depth to their injury-riddled bullpen Saturday by acquiring right-hander Nick Mears from the Colorado Rockies. Colorado received minor league right-handers Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera in the trade. The 27-year-old Mears owns a 1-4 record and 5.56 ERA in 41 games with 57 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings this season. Mears has posted a 1.80 ERA while holding opponents to a .160 batting average over his last 12 appearances. The Brewers have placed relievers Bryan Hudson and Rob Zastryzny on the injured list over the last two days.
