Beltre led the American League with a .974 fielding percentage at third base, with 8 errors in 312 total chances. That's the second-best showing of his career, and the eight errors are the fewest by any American League third baseman with at least 125 starts since 2006.

Beltre is the lone Ranger on the 2012 Gold Glove recipients announced Tuesday by the Rawlings Sporting Goods Co. He's now won American League Gold Gloves at third base in four of the past six years, including 2007 and 2008 with Seattle.
