Sano, Hunter honored at Diamond Awards

Sano, who finished third in the balloting for American League Rookie of the Year, took home two awards to join Torii Hunter as the only Twins player to receive multiple honors.

"I'm so really happy for this moment," Sano said. "I just want to thank Torii Hunter, Paul Molitor and all the staff here -- Terry Ryan. Just thanks to everyone."
