Braun, Fielder win Silver Slugger Awards

"For the second consecutive season, the Milwaukee Brewers have a pair of Silver Sluggers.

Leftfielder Ryan Braun and first baseman Prince Fielder each earned the honor from Louisville Slugger on Wednesday. The award is presented to the top offensive player at each position in both the National and American Leagues.

Braun hit .332 with 33 home runs and 111 runs batted in, while leading the NL with a .597 slugging percentage, .994 OPS and 77 extra-base hits.

He finished in the top six in the NL in 11 different offensive categories. Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder Matt Kemp and Arizona Diamondbacks rightfielder Justin Upton were the other NL winners in the outfield.

"It's always a tremendous honor," Braun said via satellite on MLB Network's Silver Slugger Awards announcement show. "It's incredible to be recognized for something like this at the end of the year, and something I'm proud of, for sure.""
