Lucroy played in a team-high 153 games, batting .301 with 13 home runs, 69 RBI and a .373 on-base percentage. He was voted to his first NL all-star berth.Peralta received six first-place votes for a total of 33 points, easily out-distancing closer Francisco Rodriguez, who had 17 points. Peralta ranked among the NL leaders with 17 victories, going 17-11 with a 3.53 ERA in 32 starts, leading the team with 154 strikeouts."
