NEW YORK —

Rivera and Hoffman were among the six voters, joined by fellow Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley and Rollie Fingers along with John Franco and Billy Wagner. Balloting was based on the regular season and used a system in which the first choice got five points, the second got three and the third got one.

Cleveland‘s Emmanuel Clase was second in the AL after winning last year, and Toronto‘s Jordan Romano was third.

Pittsburgh‘s David Bednar was second in the NL, and San Diego‘s Josh Hader was third.
