HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Even though the World Series didn't go the Astros' way, Pitcher Zack Greinke received a big honor Sunday night.

Rawlings Sporting Goods Company announced that Greinke has won a National League Rawlings Gold Glove Award.

The announcement was made on ESPN's "Baseball Tonight."

Greinke was traded by Arizona to Houston in July 2019.
