Despite a ribcage injury that slowed Ryan Braun down the stretch, the Brewers left fielder won his first Silver Slugger Award, given annually to the top offensive performers at each position in both leagues.
In 151 games, Braun hit .285 with 37 home runs and 106 rbi's. He's only the 3rd Brewer to win a Silver Slugger Award since 1990. Carlos Lee and Prince Fielder are the other two.
