Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., and ESPN announced tonight that Royals left fielder Alex Gordon and catcher Salvador Perez have been awarded with Rawlings Gold Gloves. This marks Gordon’s sixth overall Rawlings Gold Glove (2011–14, ’17–18) and Perez’s fifth in the last six seasons (2013–16, ’18). Kansas City has won 16 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards since 2011, most in the Majors during that span. The Royals are the only American League team with at least one Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner in each of the last eight seasons (since 2011), and trail only Colorado’s streak of nine straight seasons among Major League teams.
