MLB: Rawlings announces 2017 Gold Glove finalists

As the World Series shifts from Los Angeles to Houston on Thursday, Rawlings unveiled the finalists for this year's Gold Glove Awards.
The annual award honors players for their fielding excellence during the 2017 season.
Five teams are tied with four finalists each. The longest, active consecutive streak winning the award belongs to Colorado Rockies' Nolan Arenado with four.
Votes are submitted in September by managers and coaches who cannot choose their own players.
The winners will be announced on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
