Cardinals add Canadian John Axford to bullpen

Former Milwaukee Brewers closer John Axford is joining the playoff-contending St. Louis Cardinals.

Axford, who hails from Port Dover, Ont., was traded by Milwaukee on Friday in exchange for a player to be named later.

The hard-throwing relief pitcher has been inconsistent since his breakout 2011 season, posting a 4.57 earned-run average over 137 innings pitched.

Axford, who has struck out 147 over 124 innings, could give the Cardinals a right-hander to pair with lefty Kevin Siegrist in the seventh inning ahead of set-up man Trevor Rosenthal and closer Edward Mujica.
