New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, whose 48 home runs set a league record for that position and broke a 68-year-old club mark for right-handed hitters, earns his second American League MVP Award in the closest vote since 2001. Rodriguez edges Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, 331-307, in voting by the BBWAA. He receives 16 of 28 first-place votes while Ortiz earns 11, with 2004 MVP Vladimir Guerrero of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim collecting the other to finish third with 196 points. The margin of victory is the smallest since Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki edged Oakland’s Jason Giambi, 289-281, four years ago.

The four, along with Barney McCosky and Charlie Gehringer, produce the stuff that will move the Tigers from fifth to first, although its .588 mark will be as low as that of any pennant-winner yet.
