Two Royals stalwarts won Gold Glove awards Sunday night.
Alex Gordon won as the American League’s top left fielder. Teammate Salvador Perez won as the AL’s top catcher. It’s Gordon’s sixth Gold Glove and Perez’s fifth.
The final results were unveiled during a special edition of Baseball Tonight on ESPN Sunday evening.
“I’m honored to win the Rawlings Gold Glove this year, and excited to share this award with Salvy,” Gordon said in a statement released by the Royals. “... I’m happy to share this award with my coaches, teammates and the Royals.”
The Royals are the only AL team to win at least one Gold Glove in each of the past eight years.
