Jays Ray Day

Robbie Ray wins the AL Cy Young Award in a landslide:

Ray’s victory total of 13 is tied for the fewest for a starting pitcher over a full season to win the American League award, matching that of the Seattle Mariners’ Felix Hernandez in 2010. The fewest victories overall by a Cy Young-winning starting pitcher in a full season is 10 by the 2018 National League winner, Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets.

Ray received 29 of the 30 first-place votes, and one second place vote. Gerrit Cole received the other first place vote and all the other second place votes. The third, fourth, and fifth place votes were divided among ten other pitchers.

Congratulations to Ray on an outstanding season!
