Marlins 3B Casey McGehee wins the National League Comeback Player of the Year Award while P Chris Young of the Mariners is the winner in the American League. McGehee came back from a strong year in Japan following a couple of disappointing seasons, while Young had seen his career stopped by a string of arm injuries.

Milwaukee’s Casey McGehee’s last hit, a seventh-inning single, during his 4-for-4 performance in the team’s 8-4 victory over Arizona at Miller Park, establishes a franchise record. The Brewer infielder’s ninth consecutive hit breaks the club mark set by teammate Ryan Braun in 2008, but is three shy of the major league record of 12, accomplished by Pinky Higgins (1938) and Walt Dropo (1952).
