NEW YORK — Philadelphia center fielder Shane Victorino earned his second straight National League Gold Glove yesterday.

"I take a lot of pride in fielding my position," Victorino, nicknamed the Flyin' Hawaiian for his speed, said in a statement.

Phillies teammate Jimmy Rollins earned his third consecutive Gold Glove at shortstop.

Rollins and Victorino, a St. Anthony alum, helped the Phillies reach the World Series for the second straight year. They fell to the New York Yankees in six games.

Meanwhile, Ryan Zimmerman succeeded boyhood friend David Wright as the NL's Gold Glove third baseman. In high school, when Zimmerman was a shortstop, the two played together on a youth team.

"Hopefully if we're lucky enough to continue doing what we're doing, this will be a yearly thing," Zimmerman said. "It's fun for us."

Zimmerman led major league third basemen with 325 assists and became only the second Washington player to win the award, joining catcher Earl Battey of the original Senators in 1960.

Zimmerman also became the second infielder to win a Gold Glove from a team with the worst fielding percentage in the majors, following Texas shortstop Michael Young last year.

The Nationals led the major leagues with 143 errors.

"Our team as a whole needs to realize that if we want to win we've got to play defense," Zimmerman said. "We need to take more responsibility on the defensive side of the ball."

St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina and San Diego first baseman Adrian Gonzalez also were second-time winners announced yesterday.

Adam Wainwright became the first Cardinals pitcher to win since Joaquin Andujar in 1984.

Dodgers second baseman Orlando Hudson won for the fourth time, while Houston outfielder Michael Bourn and Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp also were first-time winners.
