Both Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier earned the honors as the best hitters at their position by league managers and coaches. It is the first Silver Slugger for both players. For Kemp, the award comes a day after he earned his first Gold Glove award. He also becomes the first Dodger since Russell Martin in 2007 to earn both awards, and he and Ethier become the first pair to win a Silver Slugger in the same season since Mike Piazza and Eric Karros in 1995. They're the first Dodger outfield pair to ever win it in the same season.
