Three Reds take NL Gold Glove honors


From MLB (The AL results if you care can be found at a link on the page)(For you soccer fans out, there The Gold Glove rewards defensive excellence by position)

The Reds were the defensive stars of the National League on Wednesday, when three of their players won Rawlings NL Gold Glove Awards. And for the second year running, there was a batch of fresh faces earning baseball's highest defensive honor.

Cincinnati third baseman Scott Rolen won his eighth Gold Glove Award, while two teammates -- second baseman Brandon Phillips and right-handed pitcher Bronson Arroyo -- were also honored. Phillips' award was his second, Arroyo's his first.

Two Rockies, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, also won a Gold Glove for the first time.

The other repeat winners were Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (third Gold Glove) and first baseman Albert Pujols (second), Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino (third) and Astros outfielder Michael Bourn (second).
