Phillies third baseman Placido Polanco was the sole Phillie to take home the Gold Glove award.
Polanco, who won his third Gold Glove, became the second player in Major League history to win the award at two different positions (Darin Erstad as an outfielder and first baseman).
Center fielder Shane Victorino was a finalist but lost out to Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp. The voting format switched to picking a left, center and right fielder as opposed to picking three outfielders like years past.
Here are the winners in both leagues: AL
C Matt Weiters – Baltimore
1B Adrian Gonzalez – Boston
2B Dustin Pedroia – Boston
3B Adrian Beltre – Texas
SS Erik Aybar – LA Angels
