NEW YORK -- Milwaukee's Ryan Braun won the NL Most Valuable Player Award on Tuesday after helping lead the Brewers to their first division title in nearly 30 years.
Ryan Braun is the first Brewer to win the MVP award in the National League and first since Robin Yount won in 1989, when Milwaukee was in the AL East.
The left fielder received 20 of 32 first-place votes and 388 points in voting announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Los Angeles center fielder Matt Kemp, who came close to winning the Triple Crown, received 10 first-place votes and finished with 332 points. Braun's teammate Prince Fielder finished third with 229 points, and Arizona's Justin Upton finished fourth with 214 points. Fielder and Upton each received one first-place vote.
