ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Braves acquired left-hander Jerry Blevins from the Oakland Athletics on Sunday for $1.
The 35-year-old Blevins made his Braves debut in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Colorado Rockies, recording one out and walking one batter in the seventh inning.
The Braves needed a left-hander for their bullpen and took a chance on Blevins, who posted a 4.85 ERA in 64 games with the New York Mets last season. He signed a minor league deal with Oakland before the season and had a 1.69 ERA in seven games with Triple-A Las Vegas.
