Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager?was named the unanimous winner of the National League Rookie of the Year award on Monday, over teammate?Kenta Maeda and Trea Turner of the Washington Nationals.A first-round draft pick of the Dodgers in 2012, Seager delivered on the promise that had made him one of the top prospects in baseball. He is also one of three finalists for the National League Most Valuable Player award.The 22-year-old shortstop batted .308 with 26 home runs and 72 RBIs, and he scored 105 runs for a Dodgers team that won its fourth straight NL West title. His 193 hits were the second-most in the National League, while his 6.1 WAR was the fourth-best in the NL.Seager received the maximum 150 points in the NL vote, finishing well ahead of Turner (42) and Maeda (37).Seager was also named an All-Star this year. He is the Dodgers 17th Rookie of the Year winner and first since Todd Hollandsworth was honored in 1996 to complete a run of five consecutive NL ROY awards for Dodgers (Hideo Nomo 1995, Raul Mondesi 1994, Mike Piazza 1993, Eric Karros 1992). The Dodgers also had a run of four consecutive with Rick Sutcliffe (1979), Steve Howe (1980), Fernando Valenzuela (1981) and Steve Sax (1982).Its obviously awesome to win it in general, but to bring it back to L.A. -- it hasnt been there for a while, and theyre known as an organization for winning all those Rookie of the Years with Tommy Lasorda and all them, Seager said. So its pretty cool to be able to be connected to all the guys that came before you.Seager finished the season ranked among the NL leaders in hits (193, second), runs (105, fifth), doubles (40, seventh), multihit games (57, tied for second), extra-base hits (71, seventh), total bases (321, fourth), batting average (.308, seventh) and slugging percentage (.512, 10th). According to Stats, LLC, Seager is just the fourth rookie since 1969 to rank in the NLs top 10 in batting average and slugging percentage, joining Dusty Baker (1972, Braves), Mike Piazza (1993, Dodgers) and Albert Pujols (2001, Cardinals).Seager indicated that accolades such as this were the farthest thing from his mind coming into the season.I didnt expect to win anything, he said. Its a tough game. You dont take anything for granted. You dont expect anything to be given to you.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Cambia Portland Classic has had a little bit of just about everything as the LPGAs longest-running non-major, but in its 45-year history hasnt seen a teenage winner quite like Brooke Henderson.The 18-year-old Canadian became Portlands first back-to-back champion in 13 years when Henderson shot a final round 1-under 71 to win by four strokes over American Stacy Lewis at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.The second-ranked Henderson posted a 14-under 274 for 72 holes, though it was a far different grind than her performance in 2015, when she won the Portland Classic by a record-setting eight strokes.Hendersons final two rounds became a collection of par saves after hitting many wayward drives and approach shots.I didnt really play my best today, but I hit good shots when I needed to, and I got some good breaks, Henderson said. A weird day of golf. I hit some really good shots and some really bad shots.Henderson became the first back-to-back winner at Portland since Annika Sorenstam won consecutive tournaments in 2002 and 2003. The 18-year-old is the first wire-to-wire winner at Portland since the tournament went to a 72-hole event in 2013.Henderson is the tours second wire-to-wire winner this year, joining Ha Na Jang, who won the Coates Championship in February.It was Hendersons third career win, all coming in the Northwest. Aside from her two Portland victories, Henderson won the Womens PGA Championship at Sahalee in Sammamish, Washington, three weeks ago.The three wins came in different fashion. Last years Portland win was a runaway, and at Sahalee, Henderson caught fire during the final round to rally past top-ranked Lydia Ko.Its cool to think Ive won in three different ways, Henderson said.Henderson heads to this weeks U.S. Womens Open at CordeValle in San Martin, California, having won two of her past four tournaments, including a major.Coming off a win here is really going to give me a lot of confidence, Henderson said.Lewis was 10-under after a final round 69, though she never genuinely threatened. Lewis is winless in 53 starts since taking the North Texas LPGA Shootout in June 2014 for her 11th tour victory. She has 11 runner-up finishes during the drought and 24 overall.Norways Suzann Pettersen, the 2011 and 2013 Portland champion finished third at 9-under affter a 72.ddddddddddddAustin Ernst, who won Portland in 2014, was 8-under after a 73. But Hendersons main opponent was Mariajo Uribe, who was tied for the lead with seven holes remaining but finished with two double bogeys. Uribe was 8-under after a 75.The whole week I didnt hit the ball great, and it I just couldnt do it the last couple holes, said Uribe, winless in six years on the LPGA Tour.Sunday turned into a two-player race early on the back nine, when Uribe birdied the par-4, 337-yard 11th to tie Henderson for the lead at 14-under.But Henderson quickly resumed control at the par-5, 546-yard 12th. Uribe hit a poor drive and made bogey, while Henderson dropped a three-foot birdie putt to take a two-shot lead.The lead melted to one at 13, when Hendersons tee shot at the 160-yard par-3 went into the bunker and she made bogey. Uribe fell two strokes back at the par-4, 372-yard 15th with a bogey.The par-4, 397-yard 17th became the tournaments decisive hole. Henderson and Uribe both drove into a bunker, then blasted their approach shots over the green. But Uribe hit her third shot 50 feet past the hole and made double bogey, while Henderson was able to get up and down to save par, making an eight-foot putt.Henderson said it was advantage to have Uribe hit her chip shot first, as both players were over the green and facing testing downhill shots.I was lucky. She was in the same situation ... I realized how fast it was and how delicate of a shot it needed to be, Henderson said.Lewis never got closer than three strokes, and might have put some pressure on Henderson but made bogeys at 16 and 18.Christina Kim posted the low score of the day with a 66 to finish 7-under, as did Lee-Anne Pace, Lee Lopez and Cheyenne Woods. Pace shot 68, while Woods had a 72 for her first career top 10. Lopez, an LPGA rookie, shot 73.Lewis never got closer than three strokes, and might have put some pressure on Henderson but made bogeys at 16 and 18.Sakura Yokomine (69), Vicky Hurst (71) and Carlota Cignada (73) were eight shots back at 6-under. In-Kyung Kim shot 69 to head a group of five at 5-under.American Morgan Pressel was 2-under after posting her best round of the week, a 67. ' ' '
