Belisle has pitched with the Reds (2003, 05-08), Rockies (2009-14) and Cardinals (2015) in his Major-League career. Last season, he pitched in 34 games for the St. Louis Cardinals to the tune of a 2.67 ERA. He also led the National League in 2012 with 80 games pitched while playing for the Rockies.
