"It's very rewarding," Kinsler told MLB.com via text message. "I work hard at being really good at every aspect of the game, and have put in a lot of hard work over the years."
Kinsler becomes the first Tigers Gold Glove infielder since Placido Polanco won the honor at second base in 2009. Kinsler did not have company, as Tigers teammates Justin Verlander, James McCann and Jose Iglesias lost out at their respective positions despite being finalists.
Kinsler has been a Gold Glove finalist all three years he has been a Tiger.
