WASHINGTON -- Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman missed out on winning his second National League Gold Glove Award on Wednesday, however, he won the 2010 NL Silver Slugger Award, his second in a row, on Thursday.

Zimmerman is one of two members of the Nats to nab a Silver Slugger Award. In 2006, Alfonso Soriano won the award after hitting .277 with 41 doubles, 46 home runs, 95 RBIs and 41 stolen bases in his lone season with the Nationals.

Silver Slugger winners, presented by Louisville Slugger, are voted upon by the managers and coaches of all Major League Baseball teams to recognize the top offensive producer at each position in both the American and National Leagues.
