Duffy second to Cubs' Bryant in N.L. Rookie voting

Giants third baseman Matt Duffy finished second to unanimous winner Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs in National League Rookie of the Year voting announced Monday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Bryant finished first on all 30 ballots submitted by the Baseball Writers -- two from each N.L. city. Duffy was second on 22 of the 30 ballots, and third on four more. All three top vote-getters on the N.L. ballot played third base, with Bryant and Duffy followed by the Pittsburgh Pirates' Jung Ho Kang, who is listed as an infielder because he also played quite a bit at shortstop.
