description: "Érik Joseph Bédard is a Canadian former professional baseball pitcher. He pitched in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates, Houston Astros, and Tampa Bay Rays. Bédard was the staff ace with Baltimore in 2007, setting the franchise single-season strikeouts per nine innings record and record for strikeouts since relocating to Baltimore. He was traded after that season to the Mariners for a package that included future All-Stars Adam Jones and George Sherrill. After several injury-filled seasons, Seattle traded him to Boston in 2011."
